mm: make setup_zone_migrate_reserve() aware of overlapping nodes
I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on August 15th. My system has the following memory topology (note the overlapping node): Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000 Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000 setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on the wrong zone. Oops. setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.
