x86/numa: Fix the sort compare func used in numa_fill_memblks()
The compare function used to sort memblks into starting address order fails when the result of its u64 address subtraction gets truncated to an int upon return. The impact of the bad sort is that memblks will be filled out incorrectly. Depending on the set of memblks, a user may see no errors at all but still have a bad fill, or see messages reporting a node overlap that leads to numa init failure: [] node 0 [mem: ] overlaps with node 1 [mem: ] [] No NUMA configuration found Replace with a comparison that can only result in: 1, 0, -1.
