Subject: Revert "mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible"
This reverts b92df1de5d289c0b ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of
invalid pfns where possible"). The commit is meant to be a boot init
speed up skipping the loop in memmap_init_zone() for invalid pfns. But
given some specific memory mapping on x86_64 (or more generally
theoretically anywhere but on arm with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID) the
implementation also skips valid pfns which is plain wrong and causes
'kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:1389!'
