Here, we should initialize zone->managed_pages as zone->present_pages
because later page_group_by_mobility_disabled need be set according to
zone->managed_pages. Otherwise page_group_by_mobility_disabled will be
set to 1 always. I will sent out v3.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/mm_init.c: set zone's ->managed_pages as ->present_pages
for now
Content-type: text/plain
Because page_group_by_mobility_disabled need be set according to zone's
managed_pages later.
