Subject: [PATCH 5.10 0/5] memblock, arm: fixes for freeing of the memory map

When linux memory is not aligned with page block size and have hole in zone,
the 5.4-lts arm kernel might crash in move_freepages() as Kefen Wang reported in [1].
Backport the upstream fix commits by Mike Rapoport [2] to 5.4 can fix this issue.

And free_unused_memmap() of arm and arm64 are moved to generic mm/memblock in
the below upstream commit, so I applied the first two patches to free_unused_memmap()
in arch/arm/mm/init.c.

(4f5b0c178996 arm, arm64: move free_unused_memmap() to generic mm)

Mike Rapoport (5):
  memblock: free_unused_memmap: use pageblock units instead of MAX_ORDER
  memblock: align freed memory map on pageblock boundaries with
    SPARSEMEM
  memblock: ensure there is no overflow in memblock_overlaps_region()
  arm: extend pfn_valid to take into account freed memory map alignment
  arm: ioremap: don't abuse pfn_valid() to check if pfn is in RAM
