Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] mm/vmstat: add zone range overlapping check

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@....com>

There is a system that node's pfn are overlapped like as following.

-----pfn-------->
N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2

Therefore, we need to care this overlapping when iterating pfn range.

There are two places in vmstat.c that iterates pfn range and
they don't consider this overlapping. Add it.

Without this patch, above system could over count pageblock number
on a zone.
