The area node_bootmem_map represents is aligned to BITS_PER_LONG, and
all bits in any aligned word of that map valid. When the represented
area extends beyond the end of the node, the non-existant pages will
be marked as reserved.
As a result, when freeing a page block, doing an explicit range check
for whether that block is within the node's range is redundant as the
bitmap is consulted anyway to see whether all pages in the block are
unreserved.
