Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") tried to optimize the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But
there is still some room for improvement.
Patch 1 remain the memblock_next_valid_pfn on arm and arm64
Patch 2 optimizes the memblock_next_valid_pfn()
Patch 3~5 optimizes the early_pfn_valid()
As for the performance improvement, after this set, I can see the time
overhead of memmap_init() is reduced from 41313 us to 24345 us in my
armv8a server(QDF2400 with 96G memory).
Attached the memblock region information in my server.

Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") optimized the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But it causes
possible panic bug. So Daniel Vacek reverted it later.
But as suggested by Daniel Vacek, it is fine to using memblock to skip
gaps and finding next valid frame with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID.
On arm and arm64, memblock is used by default. But generic version of
pfn_valid() is based on mem sections and memblock_next_valid_pfn() does
not always return the next valid one but skips more resulting in some
valid frames to be skipped (as if they were invalid). And that's why
kernel was eventually crashing on some !arm machines.
And as verified by Eugeniu Rosca, arm can benifit from commit
b92df1de5d28. So remain the memblock_next_valid_pfn on arm{,64} and move
the related codes to arm64 arch directory.

This api is to find the region start_pfn and end_pfn of the input pfn.
With this helper, we can improve the loop in early_pfn_valid by reducing
the unnecessary binary searches.

For the performance improvement, after this set, I can see the time

armv8a server(QDF2400 with 96G memory).
