mm/page_alloc.c: fix regression with deferred struct page init

fix #26417771

commit b9705d8778e7adc97de38f405f835a2426e14d84 upstream.

Commit 0e56acae4b4d ("mm: initialize MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES at a time
instead of doing larger sections") is causing a regression on some
systems when the kernel is booted as Xen dom0.

The system will just hang in early boot.

Reason is an endless loop in get_page_from_freelist() in case the first
zone looked at has no free memory.  deferred_grow_zone() is always
returning true due to the following code snipplet:

  /* If the zone is empty somebody else may have cleared out the zone */
  if (!deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone(&i, zone, &spfn, &epfn,
                                           first_deferred_pfn)) {
          pgdat->first_deferred_pfn = ULONG_MAX;
          pgdat_resize_unlock(pgdat, &flags);
          return true;
  }

This in turn results in the loop as get_page_from_freelist() is assuming
forward progress can be made by doing some more struct page
initialization.
