[PATCH v6 4/5] arm: arm64: introduce pfn_valid_region()

[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 pfn++ is still in the same region. Thus
we can avoid do the slow binary searches.

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