Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] arm64/mm: Reorganize pfn_valid()

There are multiple instances of pfn_to_section_nr() and __pfn_to_section()
when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is enabled. This can be optimized if memory section
is fetched earlier. This replaces the open coded PFN and ADDR conversion
with PFN_PHYS() and PHYS_PFN() helpers. While there, also add a comment.
This does not cause any functional change.
