[PATCH v8 5/6] 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(), we can record
the last returned memblock region. If current pfn and last pfn are in the
same memory region, we needn't do the unnecessary binary searches because
memblock_is_nomap is the same result for whole memory region.
