mm: meminit: remove mminit_verify_page_links
mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked. Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was spent on checking this for every page. The cost could be reduced but in practice this check only found problems very early during the initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since. This patch removes an expensive unnecessary check.
