On my machine with below memory layout, and I can see it will take more
time to skip the larger memory hole (range: 0x100000000 - 0x1800000000)
when isolating free pages. So adding a new helper to skip the memory
hole rapidly, which can reduce the time consumed from about 70us to less
than 1us.
[ 0.000000] Zone ranges:
[ 0.000000] DMA [mem 0x0000000040000000-0x00000000ffffffff]
[ 0.000000] DMA32 empty
[ 0.000000] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001fa7ffffff]
[ 0.000000] Movable zone start for each node
