Since we plan to move the accounting into __free_pages_core(),
totalram_pages may not represent the total usable pages on system
at this point when defer_init is enabled.

Instead we can get the total usable pages from memblock directly.

Can't comment, I don't understand this patch.

but if you change set_max_threads, perhaps you can mark it as __init
for consistency?
