x86_64 is already using the node's cpu as maximum threads. Make that the
default for all archs setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT.
This returns to the behavior prior making the function arch-specific with
commit ecd096506922 ("mm: make deferred init's max threads
arch-specific").
Setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and testing on a few arm64 platforms
shows faster deferred_init_memmap completions:

: Which is a nice speedup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
