mm/page_alloc: fix deadlock on cpu_hotplug_lock in __accept_page()
When the last page in the zone is accepted, __accept_page() calls static_branch_dec(). This function takes cpu_hotplug_lock, which can lead to a deadlock if the allocation occurs during CPU bringup path as _cpu_up() also takes the lock. To prevent this deadlock, defer static_branch_dec() to a workqueue. Call static_branch_dec() only when the workqueue is not yet initialized. Workqueues are initialized before CPU bring up, so this will not conflict with the first scenario.
