[PATCH v2] mm: don't defer struct page initialization for Xen pv guests

[Juergen Gross]

Commit f7f99100d8d95dbcf09e0216a143211e79418b9f ("mm: stop zeroing
memory during allocation in vmemmap") broke Xen pv domains in some
configurations, as the "Pinned" information in struct page of early
page tables could get lost. This will lead to the kernel trying to
write directly into the page tables instead of asking the hypervisor
to do so. The result is a crash like the following:

Avoid this problem by not deferring struct page initialization when
running as Xen pv guest.
