[BUGFIX][PATCH 1/3] memory hotplug: fix next block calculation in is_removable

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

next_active_pageblock() is for finding next _used_ freeblock. It skips
several blocks when it finds there are a chunk of free pages lager than
pageblock. But it has 2 bugs.

  1. We have no lock. page_order(page) - pageblock_order can be minus.
  2. pageblocks_stride += is wrong. it should skip page_order(p) of pages.
