mm/mm_init: use node's number of cpus in deferred_page_init_max_threads

Browse Source 
x86_64 is already using the node's cpu as maximum threads.  Make that the
default for all archs setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT.

This returns to the behavior prior making the function arch-specific with
commit ecd0965069 ("mm: make deferred init's max threads
arch-specific").

Setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and testing on a few arm64 platforms
shows faster deferred_init_memmap completions:

|         | Metal, 32GB | VM, 36GB     | VM, 58GB        | Metal, 128GB |

| 1       | 108    (0%) | 72      (0%) | 224        (0%) | 324     (0%) |
| cpus    |  24  (-77%) | 36    (-50%) |  40      (-82%) |  56   (-82%) |

: Which is a nice speedup.
