update_defer_init() should be called only when struct page is about to be initialized. Because it counts number of initialized struct pages, but there we may skip struct pages if there is some mirrored memory. So move, update_defer_init() after checking for mirrored memory. Also, rename update_defer_init() to defer_init() and reverse the return boolean to emphasize that this is a boolean function, that tells that the reset of memmap initialization should be deferred. Make this function self-contained: do not pass number of already initialized pages in this zone by using static counters. I found this bug by reading the code. The effect is that fewer than expected struct pages are initialized early in boot, and it is possible that in some corner cases we may fail to boot when mirrored pages are used. The deferred on demand code should somewhat mitigate this. But this still brings some inconsistencies compared to when booting without mirrored pages, so it is better to fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
