The order of slab vs page_owner is deterministic, but it is different for
FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM. And page_ext_init_flatmem_late() that initializes
page_ext for FLATMEM is called exactly between buddy and slab setup:

static void __init mm_init(void)
{
	...

	mem_init();
	mem_init_print_info();
	/* page_owner must be initialized after buddy is ready */
	page_ext_init_flatmem_late();
	kmem_cache_init();

	...
}

I've stared for a while at page_ext init and it seems that the
page_ext_init_flatmem_late() can be simply dropped because there is anyway
a call to invoke_init_callbacks() in page_ext_init() that is called much
later in the boot process.
