Subject: [PATCH] mm: skip if required_kernelcore is larger than totalpages

If kernelcore was not specified, or the kernelcore size is zero
(required_movablecore >= totalpages), or the kernelcore size is larger
than totalpages, there is no ZONE_MOVABLE. We should fill the zone
with both kernel memory and movable memory.
