mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible

Browse Source 
When using a sparse memory model memmap_init_zone() when invoked with
the MEMMAP_EARLY context will skip over pages which aren't valid - ie.
which aren't in a populated region of the sparse memory map.  However if
the memory map is extremely sparse then it can spend a long time
linearly checking each PFN in a large non-populated region of the memory
map & skipping it in turn.

When CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, we have sufficient
information to quickly discover the next valid PFN given an invalid one
by searching through the list of memory regions & skipping forwards to
the first PFN covered by the memory region to the right of the
non-populated region.  Implement this in order to speed up
memmap_init_zone() for systems with extremely sparse memory maps.

James said "I have tested this patch on a virtual model of a Samurai CPU
with a sparse memory map.  The kernel boot time drops from 109 to
62 seconds. "
