commit 647037adcad00f2bab8828d3d41cd0553d41f3bd upstream.
This reverts commit 115d9d77bb0f9152c60b6e8646369fa7f6167593.
The pages being freed by memblock_free_late() have already been
initialized, but if they are in the deferred init range,
__free_one_page() might access nearby uninitialized pages when trying to
coalesce buddies. This can, for example, trigger this BUG:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe964c02580c8
RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x3f/0x70
<TASK>

</TASK>
A proper fix will be more involved so revert this change for the time
being.

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 Restructured Text 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.
