[PATCH] arm64: mm: Fix pfn_is_map_memory() misreporting mapped memory

Commit 7ace06a01efa ("arm64: mm: fix accidental linear mapping of
no-map reserved memory") removed sub-page no-map regions from the
linear mapping. However, pfn_is_map_memory() can still report that
such a region is mapped.

For instance, with 64K pages, say we have

normal:        ...–0xa2007fff
no-map: 0xa2008000–0xa200ffff
normal: 0xa2010000–...

The range 0xa2000000–0xa200ffff is not linearly mapped, but
pfn_is_map_memory(__phys_to_pfn(0xa2008000)) aligns the address to
page granularity and passes 0xa2000000 to memblock_is_map_memory().
That address belongs to the preceding normal memblock region, so the
no-map region is ignored and the function returns true.

Fix that by checking if entire page is subset of memory block.
