[PATCH 07/14] mm/bootmem_info: avoid using sparse_decode_mem_map()

With SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we can just do a pfn_to_page(). It is not super
clear whether the start_pfn is properly aligned ... so let's just make
sure it is.

We will soon might try to remove the bootmem info completely, for now,
just keep it working as is.
