From: Joonsoo Kim iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com
commit e1409c325fdc1fef7b3d8025c51892355f065d15 upstream.
pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used to check there is valid pfn and all pages in the pageblock is in a single zone. If there is a hole in the pageblock, passing arbitrary position to pageblock_pfn_to_page() could cause to skip whole pageblock scanning, instead of just skipping the hole page. For deterministic behaviour, it's better to always pass pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page(). It will also help further optimization on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in the following patch.
