As discussed last week with Michal Hocko, I am sending this as a separate
patch:

This patch farther improves deferred page initialization by enabling future
mult-threading, covering some corner cases, and simplifies the logic and
modularity.

Tested with qemu, and on bare metal with kexec, and regular reboots.
