kho: make preserved pages compatible with deferred struct page init

When CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, struct page
initialization is deferred to parallel kthreads that run later
in the boot process.

During KHO restoration, kho_preserved_memory_reserve() writes metadata
for each preserved memory region. However, if the struct page has not
been initialized, this write targets uninitialized memory, potentially
leading to errors like:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ...

Fix this by introducing kho_get_preserved_page(),  which ensures
all struct pages in a preserved region are initialized by calling
init_deferred_page() which is a no-op when the struct page is already
initialized.
