All pages were already initialized and set to PageReserved() with a refcount of 1 by MM init code. In fact, by using __init_single_page(), we will be setting the refcount to 1 just to freeze it again immediately afterwards. So drop the __init_single_page() and use __ClearPageReserved() instead. Adjust the comments to highlight that we are dealing with an open-coded prep_compound_page() variant. Further, as we can now safely iterate over all pages in a folio, let's avoid the page-pfn dance and just iterate the pages directly. Note that the current code was likely problematic, but we never ran into it: prep_compound_tail() would have been called with an offset that might exceed a memory section, and prep_compound_tail() would have simply added that offset to the page pointer -- which would not have done the right thing on sparsemem without vmemmap.
