The crash happens because on x86 ftrace allocations from execmem require
maple tree to be initialized.
Move maple tree initialization that depends only on slab availability
earlier in boot so that it will happen right after mm_core_init().
Fixes: 5d79c2be5081 ("x86/ftrace: enable EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for ftrace allocations")
