Is it really necessary to build full node fallback info for memblock and
then rebuild it again for the page allocator?

I think it should be possible to split parts of build_all_zonelists_init()
that do not touch per-cpu areas into a separate function and call that
function after topology detection. Then it would be possible to use
local_memory_node() when calling memblock.
