mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment

Browse Source 
Commit b92df1de5d ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") introduced a bug where move_freepages() triggers a
VM_BUG_ON() on uninitialized page structure due to pageblock alignment.
To fix this, simply align the skipped pfns in memmap_init_zone() the
same way as in move_freepages_block().

Seen in one of the RHEL reports:

  BUG, zones differ!

Note that this range follows two not populated sections
68000000-77ffffff in this zone.  7b788000-7b7fffff is the first one
after a gap.  This makes memmap_init_zone() skip all the pfns up to the
beginning of this range.  But this range is not pageblock (2M) aligned.
In fact no range has to be.

  ffffea0001ede200  7b788000                0        0  1 1fffff00000000

Top part of page flags should contain nodeid and zonenr, which is not
the case for page ffffea0001ed8000 here (<<<<).

  crash> log | grep -o fffea0001ed[^\ ]* | sort -u

  fffea0001eded20

  crash> bt -r | grep -o fffea0001ed[^\ ]* | sort -u
  fffea0001ed8000
  fffea0001eded00
  fffea0001eded20
  fffea0001edffc0

Initialization of the whole beginning of the section is skipped up to
the start of the range due to the commit b92df1de5d.  Now any code
calling move_freepages_block() (like reusing the page from a freelist as
in this example) with a page from the beginning of the range will get
the page rounded down to start_page ffffea0001ed8000 and passed to
move_freepages() which crashes on assertion getting wrong zonenr.

  >         VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));

Note, page_zone() derives the zone from page flags here.

From similar machine before commit b92df1de5d:

All the pages since the beginning of the section are initialized.
move_freepages()' not gonna blow up.

The same machine with this fix applied:

At least the bare minimum of pages is initialized preventing the crash
as well.

Customers started to report this as soon as 7.4 (where b92df1de5d was
merged in RHEL) was released.  I remember reports from
September/October-ish times.  It's not easily reproduced and happens on
a handful of machines only.  I guess that's why.  But that does not make
it less serious, I think.

Though there actually is a report here:
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196443

And there are reports for Fedora from July:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1473242
and CentOS:
  https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=13964
and we internally track several dozens reports for RHEL bug
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1525121
