[PATCH] run page_address_init() earlier

If someone runs page_address() before page_address_init(), the kernel locks
up over uninitialised spinlocks.

This only happens with the 4:4 patch, but it is more robust to run
page_address_init() before setup_arch().  page_address_init() simply
initialises statically allocated storage.
