Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm: page_alloc: reduce unnecessary binary search in early_pfn_valid()

Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") optimized the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But there is
still some room for improvement. E.g. in early_pfn_valid(), we can record
the last returned memblock region index and check check pfn++ is still in
the same region.

Currently it only improves the performance on arm64 and has no impact on
other arches.
