Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm: return zero_resv_unavail optimization

From: Pavel Tatashin <pavel.tatashin@...rosoft.com>

When checking for valid pfns in zero_resv_unavail(), it is not necessary to
verify that pfns within pageblock_nr_pages ranges are valid, only the first
one needs to be checked. This is because memory for pages are allocated in
contiguous chunks that contain pageblock_nr_pages struct pages.
