mm/page_alloc: reuse tail struct pages for compound devmaps

Currently memmap_init_zone_device() ends up initializing 32768 pages when
it only needs to initialize 128 given tail page reuse.  That number is
worse with 1GB compound pages, 262144 instead of 128.  Update
memmap_init_zone_device() to skip redundant initialization, detailed
below.

When a pgmap @vmemmap_shift is set, all pages are mapped at a given huge
page alignment and use compound pages to describe them as opposed to a
struct per 4K.

With @vmemmap_shift > 0 and when struct pages are stored in ram (!altmap)
most tail pages are reused.  Consequently, the amount of unique struct
pages is a lot smaller than the total amount of struct pages being mapped.

The altmap path is left alone since it does not support memory savings
based on compound pages devmap.
