skip_offline_sections_reverse will return the last pfn in found online

block forward and ignore the last page block in the online section.
Make block_start_pfn point to first page block after online section to fix
this:
1. make skip_offline_sections_reverse return end pfn of online section,
i.e. pfn of page block after online section.
2. assign block_start_pfn with next_pfn.

Can we add a short comment which kind of PFN we return (first pfn of
first offline section after an online section)?

So block_start_pfn() will now point at the first PFN of the offline section.
Confusing stuff, but I get the idea and I think it makes sense to me :)
