mm/page_alloc: skip non present sections on zone initialization
memmap_init_zone() can be called on the ranges with holes during the boot. It will skip any non-valid PFNs one-by-one. It works fine as long as holes are not too big. But huge holes in the memory map causes a problem. It takes over 20 seconds to walk 32TiB hole. x86-64 with 5-level paging allows for much larger holes in the memory map which would practically hang the system. Deferred struct page init doesn't help here. It only works on the present ranges. Skipping non-present sections would fix the issue.
