Li Zhe c4f20f1479 page_ext: introduce boot parameter 'early_page_ext'
In commit 2f1ee0913c ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in
page_ext_init""), we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to
avoid some panic problem.  It seems that we cannot track early page
allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized
early.

This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve
this problem.  If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved
up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be
disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic
problem above.  It can help us to catch early page allocations.  This is
useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same
right after different kernel booting.
