[PATCH v9 2/8] mm: factor zone-device page init helpers out of __init_zone_device_page

Message-ID <[email protected]>
memmap_init_zone_device() currently mixes refcount policy and core
ZONE_DEVICE page setup in a single helper.

Factor the refcount-reset predicate into pagemap_requires_refcount_reset(),
move the common page initialization into __zone_device_page_init(), and
wrap the existing slow path in zone_device_page_init_slow().

This keeps the slow-path behaviour unchanged and gives later patches
reusable helper boundaries.

No functional change intended.
