[PATCH 1/6] mm/page_alloc: fix same zone check in __pageblock_pfn_to_page()

[js1304@gmail.com]

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

There is a system that node's pfn are overlapped like as following.

-----pfn-------->
N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2

Therefore, we need to care this overlapping when iterating pfn range.

In __pageblock_pfn_to_page(), there is a check for this but it's
not sufficient. This check cannot distinguish the case that zone id
is the same but node id is different. This patch fixes it.
