Architecture like powerpc, checks for pfn_valid() in their
virt_to_phys() implementation (when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled) [1].
Commit d49004c5f0c1 "arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map"
changed the order of initialization between hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() and
free_area_init(). This means, pfn_valid() can now return false in
alloc_bootmem() path, since sparse_init() is not yet done.
Since, alloc_bootmem() uses memblock_alloc(.., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE), this
means these allocations are always going to happen below high_memory, where
__pa() should return valid physical addresses. Hence this patch converts
the two callers of virt_to_phys() in alloc_bootmem() path to __pa() to avoid
this bootup warning:
