mm: calculate deferred pages after skipping mirrored memory
update_defer_init() should be called only when struct page is about to be initialized. Because it counts number of initialized struct pages, but there we may skip struct pages if there is some mirrored memory. So move, update_defer_init() after checking for mirrored memory. Also, rename update_defer_init() to defer_init() and reverse the return boolean to emphasize that this is a boolean function, that tells that the reset of memmap initialization should be deferred. Make this function self-contained: do not pass number of already initialized pages in this zone by using static counters. I found this bug by reading the code. The effect is that fewer than expected struct pages are initialized early in boot, and it is possible that in some corner cases we may fail to boot when mirrored pages are used. The deferred on demand code should somewhat mitigate this. But this still brings some inconsistencies compared to when booting without mirrored pages, so it is better to fix.
