[PATCH] ARM: mm: enforce pageblock alignment when freeing memmap entries at init

On some machines, the nodes do not always start on pageblock
boundaries. In these cases it is possible for free_unused_memmap
to free mappings for pages inside a pageblock with otherwise
valid pages. This presents problems for page migration since it
operates on whole pageblocks at a time.
Round down bank_start to pageblock boundary so that whole
pageblocks always have valid mappings.
