Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns on UMA

As a result of bisecting the v4.10..v4.11 commit range, it was
determined that commits [1] and [2] are both responsible of a ~140ms
early startup improvement on Rcar-H3-ES20 arm64 platform.

Since Rcar Gen3 family is not NUMA, we don't define CONFIG_NUMA in the
rcar3 defconfig (which also reduces KNL binary image by ~64KB), but this
is how the boot time improvement is lost.

This patch makes optimization [2] available on UMA systems which
provide support for CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK.

Testing this change on Rcar H3-ULCB using v4.15-rc8 KNL, vanilla arm64
defconfig + NUMA=n, a speed-up of ~140ms (from [3] to [4]) is observed
in the execution of memmap_init_zone().

No boot time improvement is sensed on Apollo Lake SoC.

[1] commit 0f84832fb8f9 ("arm64: defconfig: Enable NUMA and NUMA_BALANCING")
[2] commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible")
