[RFC] page_ext: move up page_ext_init() to catch early page allocation if DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is n

From: Li Zhe <[e-mail]>

In 'commit 2f1ee0913ce5 ("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 move up page_ext_init() to catch early page allocations when
DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is n. After this patch, we only need to turn
DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT to n then we are able to analyze the early page
allocations. This is useful especially when we find that the free memory
value is not the same right after different kernel booting.
