Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/mm/64: Rename the register_page_bootmem_memmap() 'size' parameter to 'nr_pages'

register_page_bootmem_memmap()'s 3rd 'size' parameter is named
in a somewhat misleading fashion - rename it to 'nr_pages' which
makes the units of it much clearer.

And also rename the existing local variable 'nr_pages' to 'pages'.
Otherwise building error will be reported since these two variables
are different type though both represent number of pages. Take
'nr_pages' as register_page_bootmem_memmap()'s parameter name since
it has more specific meaning, can make better function interface.

v1->v2:
  Code change in v1 is incomplete, caused build failure. Change
  it after Ingo pointed it out.

  And Ingo helped rewrite the change log of v1. I also add description
  about the local variable change.
