In init_pages_in_zone() we currently use the generic set_page_owner() function
to initialize page_owner info for early allocated pages. This means we
needlessly do lookup_page_ext() twice for each page, and more importantly
save_stack(), which has to unwind the stack and find the corresponding stack
depot handle. Because the stack is always the same for the initialization,
unwind it once in init_pages_in_zone() and reuse the handle. Also avoid the
repeated lookup_page_ext().
This can significantly reduce boot times with page_owner=on on large machines,
especially for kernels built without frame pointer, where the stack unwinding
is noticeably slower.
