    mm: make setup_zone_migrate_reserve() aware of overlapping nodes · 344c790e

    I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on
    August 15th.  My system has the following memory topology (note the
    overlapping node):
    
                Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000
                Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000
    
    setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking
    for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list.  Finding no
    candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000.  When
    a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on
    the wrong zone.  Oops.
    
    setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes.
