Well, logic grouping is one thing, but not breaking a functional order is
more important. So this moves both calls to happen later than theyw ere. I
guess it could only matter for page_alloc_init_cpuhp() in case cpu hotplugs
would be processed in some of the calls we "skipped" over by moving this
later. And one of them is setup_arch()... so are we sure no arch does some
cpu hotplug for non-boot cpus there?
