mm/page_alloc.c: don't set pages PageReserved() when offlining

Patch series "mm: Memory offlining + page isolation cleanups", v2.

This patch (of 2):

We call __offline_isolated_pages() from __offline_pages() after all
pages were isolated and are either free (PageBuddy()) or PageHWPoison.
Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point.

In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections
offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as
invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk
over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the
isolated free lists, to be precise).

Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap
getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state.  We already poision
the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to
stale/uninitialized memmaps.

So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful.  The memap is
marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated.  As soon as offline, the
memmap is stale either way.

This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the
memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set
PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).
