mm: don't defer struct page initialization for Xen pv guests

Commit f7f99100 ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in
vmemmap") broke Xen pv domains in some configurations, as the "Pinned"
information in struct page of early page tables could get lost.

This will lead to the kernel trying to write directly into the page
tables instead of asking the hypervisor to do so.  The result is a crash
like the following:
