Subject: [RFC 07/16] mm/page_isolation: watch out zone range overlap

In the following patches, new zone, ZONE_CMA, will be introduced and
it would be overlapped with other zones. Currently, many places
iterating pfn range doesn't consider possibility of zone overlap and
this would cause a problem such as printing wrong statistics information.
To prevent this situation, this patch add some code to consider zone
overlapping before adding ZONE_CMA.

pfn range argument provieded to test_pages_isolated() should be in
a single zone. If not, zone lock doesn't work to protect free state of
buddy freepage.
