[RFC PATCH v2 05/12] mm: prevent pageblock size being larger than section size.

[Zi Yan <zi.yan@sent.com>]

From: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com>

Only physical pages from a section can be guaranteed to be contiguous
and so far a pageblock can only group contiguous physical pages by
design. Set pageblock_order properly to prevent pageblock going beyond
section size.
