Subject: mm/page_owner: align with pageblock_nr_pages

Currently, init_pages_in_zone() walks the zone in pageblock_nr_pages
steps.  MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is possible to have holes when
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is set.  it is likely to be different between
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES and pageblock_nr_pages.  if we skip the size of
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, it will result in the second 2M memroy leak.

Meanwhile, the change will make the code consistent.  because the entire
function is based on the pageblock_nr_pages steps.
