[PATCH v7 1/5] mm: page_alloc: remain memblock_next_valid_pfn() on arm and arm64

[Jia He]

Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") optimized the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But it causes
possible panic bug. So Daniel Vacek reverted it later.

But as suggested by Daniel Vacek, it is fine to using memblock to skip
gaps and finding next valid frame with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID.

On arm and arm64, memblock is used by default. But generic version of
pfn_valid() is based on mem sections and memblock_next_valid_pfn() does
not always return the next valid one but skips more resulting in some
valid frames to be skipped (as if they were invalid). And that's why
kernel was eventually crashing on some !arm machines.

And as verified by Eugeniu Rosca, arm can benifit from commit
b92df1de5d28. So remain the memblock_next_valid_pfn on arm/arm64 and
move the related codes to one file include/linux/arm96_common.h
