Revert "mm: Always release pages to the buddy allocator in memblock_free_late()."
commit 647037adcad00f2bab8828d3d41cd0553d41f3bd upstream.
This reverts commit 115d9d77bb0f9152c60b6e8646369fa7f6167593.
The pages being freed by memblock_free_late() have already been
initialized, but if they are in the deferred init range,
__free_one_page() might access nearby uninitialized pages when trying to
coalesce buddies. This can, for example, trigger this BUG:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe964c02580c8
RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x3f/0x70

A proper fix will be more involved so revert this change for the time
being.
