We initialize boot-time pagesets with setup_pageset(), which sets high and
batch values that effectively disable pcplists.

We can remove this wrapper if we just set these values for all pagesets in
pageset_init(). Non-boot pagesets then subsequently update them to the proper
values.

No functional change.

Btw. where do we initialize pcp->count? I thought that pcp allocator
zeroes out the allocated memory but alloc_percpu is GFP_KERNEL like.

Thanks!

pageset_init() does:
memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p))

Ohh, I have missed pcp is embeded into per_cpu_pageset. Using it as s
pointer here confused me. Sorry about the noise.
