mm, page_owner: make init_pages_in_zone() faster
In init_pages_in_zone() we currently use the generic set_page_owner() function to initialize page_owner info for early allocated pages. This means we needlessly do lookup_page_ext() twice for each page, and more importantly save_stack(), which has to unwind the stack and find the corresponding stack depot handle. Because the stack is always the same for the initialization, unwind it once in init_pages_in_zone() and reuse the handle. Also avoid the repeated lookup_page_ext(). This can significantly reduce boot times with page_owner=on on large machines, especially for kernels built without frame pointer, where the stack unwinding is noticeably slower.
