[PATCH 4.14.y] mm/page_owner.c: remove drain_all_pages from init_early_allocated_pages

[PATCH 4.14.y] mm/page_owner.c: remove drain_all_pages from init_early_allocated_pages

[Nick Desaulniers]

From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@techadventures.net>

commit u6bec6ad77fac3d29aed0d8e0b7526daedc964970 upstream.

When setting page_owner = on, the following warning can be seen in the
boot log:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at mm/page_alloc.c:2537 drain_all_pages+0x171/0x1a0
  Modules linked in:

This warning is shown because we are calling drain_all_pages() in
init_early_allocated_pages(), but mm_percpu_wq is not up yet, it is being
set up later on in kernel_init_freeable() -> init_mm_internals().

Fixes an easliy reproduced WARN_ON_ONCE observed with
CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER=y and page_owner=on boot param.  Looks like this
landed in v4.15-rc9 but hasn't been backported yet. Thanks to
Miles Chen <miles.chen@mediatek.com> for the report.

This is not a valid git id :(

Prepended a `u`. As a git user, I must have `u`ndid something.
Surprisingly it wasn't a `:wq` that was added.  Thanks for fixing that
up for me and applying.
