On some machines, the normal zone can have a large memory hole like
below memory layout, and we can see the range from 0x100000000 to
0x1800000000 is a hole. So when isolating some migratable pages, the
scanner can meet the hole and it will take more time to skip the large
hole. From my measurement, I can see the isolation scanner will take
80us ~ 100us to skip the large hole [0x100000000 - 0x1800000000].

So adding a new helper to fast search next online memory section
to skip the large hole can help to find next suitable pageblock
efficiently. With this patch, I can see the large hole scanning only
takes < 1us.

Changes from v1:
  - Fix building errors if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is not selected.
  - Use NR_MEM_SECTIONS instead of '-1' per Huang Ying.

I would simply inline next_online_section_nr and simplify (and add a comment):

/*
 * If the PFN falls into an offline section, return the start PFN of the
 * next online section. If the PFN falls into an online section or if
 * there is no next online section, return 0.
 */
static unsigned long skip_hole_pageblock(unsigned long start_pfn)
{
	unsigned long nr = pfn_to_section_nr(start_pfn);

	if (online_section_nr(nr))
		return 0;

	while (++nr <= __highest_present_section_nr) {
		if (online_section_nr(nr))
			return section_nr_to_pfn(nr);
	}
	return 0
}

Easier, no?

And maybe just call that function "skip_offline_sections()" then? Because we're not operating on pageblocks.
