[PATCH] mm: Always initialise folio->_deferred_list

["Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>]

For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a
deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the
page is not part of a deferred list.  We recently found this useful to
rule out a source of corruption.
