[PATCH -mm 13/14] bootmem: revisit alloc_bootmem_section

[Johannes Weiner]

Since alloc_bootmem_core does no goal-fallback anymore and just
returns NULL if the allocation fails, we might now use it in
alloc_bootmem_section without all the fixup code for a misplaced
allocation.

Also, the limit can be the first PFN of the next section as the
semantics is that the limit is _above_ the allocated region, not
within.
