Again, you can easily have overlapping zones -- ZONE_NORMAL and
ZONE_MOVABLE -- in which case, a PFN is spanned by multiple zones, but
only belongs to a single zone.

The original code would scan each PFN exactly once, as it was iterating
the node PFNs. Your changed code might scan a single PFN multiple times,
if it's spanned by multiple zones.
