Currently, in free_area_init_core(), when initialize zone's field, a
rough value is set to zone->managed_pages. That value is calculated by
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages).
In the meantime, add the value to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages which
represent all free pages of system (only low memory or including HIGHMEM
memory separately). Both of them are gonna be used in
alloc_large_system_hash().
However, the rough calculation and setting of zone->managed_pages is
meaningless because
a) memmap pages are allocated on units of node in sparse_init() or
alloc_node_mem_map(pgdat); The simple (zone->present_pages -
memmap_pages) is too rough to make sense for zone;
b) the set zone->managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset with
acutal value in mem_init() via memblock_free_all(). Before the
resetting, no buddy allocation request is issued.
Here, remove the meaningless and complicated calculation of
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages), directly set zone->managed_pages
as zone->present_pages for now. It will be adjusted in mem_init().
And also remove the assignment of nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages in
free_area_init_core(). Instead, call the newly added calc_nr_kernel_pages()
to count up all free but not reserved memory in memblock and assign to
nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages. The counting excludes memmap_pages,
and other kernel used data, which is more accurate than old way and
simpler, and can also cover the ppc required arch_reserved_kernel_pages()
case.
And also clean up the outdated code comment above free_area_init_core().
And free_area_init_core() is easy to understand now, no need to add
words to explain.

v2->v3:
- Change to initialize zone->managed_pages as zone->present_pages for now
because later page_group_by_mobility_disabled need be set according to
zone->managed_pages. Otherwise it will cause setting
page_group_by_mobility_disabled to 1 always.
