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.
