Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix memmap_init_zone pageblock alignment
BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:1913
> VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));
Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") introduced a bug where move_freepages() triggers a
VM_BUG_ON() on uninitialized page structure due to pageblock alignment.
To fix this, simply align the skipped pfns in memmap_init_zone() the same
way as in move_freepages_block().
