mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap

vmemmap_alloc_block() will no longer zero the block, so zero memory at
its call sites for everything except struct pages.  Struct page memory
is zero'd by struct page initialization.

Replace allocators in sparse-vmemmap to use the non-zeroing version.
So, we will get the performance improvement by zeroing the memory in
parallel when struct pages are zeroed.

Add struct page zeroing as a part of initialization of other fields in
__init_single_page().

This single thread performance collected on: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895
v3 @ 2.60GHz with 1T of memory (268400646 pages in 8 nodes):

                         BASE            FIX
sparse_init     11.244671836s   0.007199623s
zone_sizes_init  4.879775891s   8.355182299s
                  --------------------------
Total           16.124447727s   8.362381922s

sparse_init is where memory for struct pages is zeroed, and the zeroing
part is moved later in this patch into __init_single_page(), which is
called from zone_sizes_init().
