memblock: Improve generic memblock_nid_range() using for_each_mem_pfn_range()

Given an address range, memblock_nid_range() determines the node the
start of the range belongs to and upto where the range stays in the
same node.

It's implemented by calling get_pfn_range_for_nid(), which determines
min and max pfns for a given node, for each node and testing whether
start address falls in there.  This is not only inefficient but also
incorrect when nodes interleave as min-max ranges for nodes overlap.

This patch reimplements memblock_nid_range() using
for_each_mem_pfn_range().  It's simpler, walks the mem ranges once and
can find the exact range the start address falls in.
