    memblock: free_unused_memmap: use pageblock units instead of MAX_ORDER · e2a86800
    Mike Rapoport authored
    The code that frees unused memory map uses rounds start and end of the
    holes that are freed to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES to preserve continuity of the
    memory map for MAX_ORDER regions.
    
    Lots of core memory management functionality relies on homogeneity of the
    memory map within each pageblock which size may differ from MAX_ORDER in
    certain configurations.
    
    Although currently, for the architectures that use free_unused_memmap(),
    pageblock_order and MAX_ORDER are equivalent, it is cleaner to have common
    notation thought mm code.
    
    Replace MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES with pageblock_nr_pages and update the comments
    to make it more clear why the alignment to pageblock boundaries is
    required.
