Subject: [RFC V3 PATCH 24/25] memblock: compare current_limit with end variable at memblock_find_in_range_node()

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@...fujitsu.com>

memblock_find_in_range_node() does not compare memblock.current_limit
with end variable. Thus even if memblock.current_limit is smaller than
end variable, the function allocates memory address that is bigger than
memblock.current_limit.

The patch adds the check to "memblock_find_in_range_node()"
