[PATCH v5 5/5] mm: page_alloc: reduce unnecessary binary search in early_pfn_valid()

[Jia He]

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(), if pfn and
pfn+1 are in the same memblock region, we can record the last returned
memblock region index and check check pfn++ is still in the same region.

Currently it only improve the performance on arm64 and will have no
impact on other arches.
