Subject: mm, compaction: fix fast_isolate_around() to stay within boundaries

Depending on the memory configuration, isolate_freepages_block() may scan
pages out of the target range and causes panic.
The problem is that pfn as argument of fast_isolate_around() could be out
of the target range. Therefore we should consider the case where pfn <
start_pfn, and also the case where end_pfn < pfn.
This problem should have been addressd by the commit 6e2b7044c199 ("mm,
compaction: make fast_isolate_freepages() stay within zone") but there was
an oversight.
Case1: pfn < start_pfn
<at memory compaction for node Y>
| node X's zone | node Y's zone
+-----------------+------------------------------...
pageblock ^ ^ ^
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+...
^ ^ ^
^ ^ end_pfn
^ start_pfn = cc->zone->zone_start_pfn
pfn
<---------> scanned range by "Scan After"
Case2: end_pfn < pfn
<at memory compaction for node X>
| node X's zone | node Y's zone
+-----------------+------------------------------...
pageblock ^ ^ ^
+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+...
^ ^ ^
^ ^ pfn
^ end_pfn
start_pfn
<---------> scanned range by "Scan Before"
It seems that there is no good reason to skip nr_isolated pages just after
given pfn. So let perform simple scan from start to end instead of
dividing the scan into "Before" and "After".
