Subject: mm, memory_hotplug: fix memmap initialization

Bharata has noticed that onlining a newly added memory doesn't increase
the total memory, pointing to f7f99100d8d9 ("mm: stop zeroing memory
during allocation in vmemmap") as a culprit.  This commit has changed the
way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it from the
allocation time to the initialization time.  This works properly for the
early memmap init path.

It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark page
as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later initialize it
completely during onlining.  memmap_init_zone is called in the early stage
of onlining.  With the current code it calls __init_single_page and as
such it clears up the whole stage and therefore online_pages_range skips
those pages.

Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for memory
hotplug path.  This is quite uggly but unifying both early init and memory
hotplug init paths is a large project.  Make sure we plug the regression
at least.
