Subject: [PATCH V3 0/2] mm/memblock.c: fix potential bug and code refine

Here are two patch of mm/memblock.c.
[1]. A trivial code refine in memblock_is_region_memory(), which removes an
unnecessary check on base address.
[2]. The original code forgets to check the return value of
memblock_reserve(), which may lead to potential problem. The patch fix this.

---
v3: 
   * remove the check for base instead of comment out
   * Reform the changelog
v2: 
   * remove a trivial code refine, which is already fixed in upstream 

Wei Yang (2):
  mm/memblock.c: trivial code refine in memblock_is_region_memory()
  mm/memblock.c: check return value of memblock_reserve() in
    memblock_virt_alloc_internal()
