Subject: [RFC 05/16] mm/vmstat: 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.

pagetypeinfo_showblockcount_print() prints zone's statistics so should
consider zone overlap.
