[PATCH RESEND][BUG] sparsemem: Initialize all memmap entries within sections

[PATCH RESEND][BUG] sparsemem: Initialize all memmap entries within sections

[Akira Takeuchi]

This commit fixes the problem for the kernel
with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID=y.

VM subsystem insists that memmap entries within the align to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
must exist and be initialized.

However, in the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID=y,
the kernel only initializes the entries corresponding to the memory regions
specified by "mem=" options. This causes "kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:777!"
This BUG message comes from the following BUG_ON() line in move_freepages().

    BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));
