mm, page_owner: don't grab zone->lock for init_pages_in_zone()
init_pages_in_zone() is run under zone->lock, which means a long lock time and disabled interrupts on large machines. This is currently not an issue since it runs early in boot, but a later patch will change that. However, like other pfn scanners, we don't actually need zone->lock even when other cpus are running. The only potentially dangerous operation here is reading bogus buddy page owner due to race, and we already know how to handle that. The worst that can happen is that we skip some early allocated pages, which should not affect the debugging power of page_owner noticeably.
