mm: disable deferred struct page for 32-bit arches
Deferred struct page init is needed only on systems with large amount of
physical memory to improve boot performance. 32-bit systems do not
benefit from this feature.
Jiri reported a problem where deferred struct pages do not work well with
x86-32:

We free highmem pages before their struct pages are initialized:
mem_init()
set_highmem_pages_init()
add_highpages_with_active_regions()
free_highmem_page()
.. Access uninitialized struct page here..
Because there is no reason to have this feature on 32-bit systems, just
disable it.
