mm/compaction: fix invalid free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn
commit 623446e4 upstream. free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are the pointer that remember restart position of freepage scanner. When they are reset or invalid, we set them to zone_end_pfn because freepage scanner works in reverse direction. But, because zone range is defined as [zone_start_pfn, zone_end_pfn), zone_end_pfn is invalid to access. Therefore, we should not store it to free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn. Instead, we need to store zone_end_pfn - 1 to them. There is one more thing we should consider. Freepage scanner scan reversely by pageblock unit. If free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are set to middle of pageblock, it regards that sitiation as that it already scans front part of pageblock so we lose opportunity to scan there. To fix-up, this patch do round_down() to guarantee that reset position will be pageblock aligned. Note that thanks to the current pageblock_pfn_to_page() implementation, actual access to zone_end_pfn doesn't happen until now. But, following patch will change pageblock_pfn_to_page() so this patch is needed from now on.
