This patch was inspired by the discussion of this problem:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180130083006.GB1245@in.ibm.com

Currently, during memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages several
times:

1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section()
2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and
   SetPageReserved(page);
3. loop in pages_correctly_reserved() to check that SetPageReserved is set.
4. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn()

This patch removes loops 1, 2, and 3 and only leaves the loop 4, where all
struct page fields are initialized in one go, the same as it is now done
during boot.

The benefits:
- We improve the memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting
  cache several times and also reduce loop branching overheads.

- Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added in
  order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above email
  thread, thus also improve the performance during normal boot.

- Make memory hotplug more similar to boot memory initialization path
  because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one function.

- Simplifies memory hotplug strut page initialization code, and thus
  enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the initialization
  of struct pages in order to improve the hotplug performance even further
  on larger machines.
