Subject: [PATCH V6] NUMA: optimize detection of memory with no node id assigned by firmware

Sanity check that makes sure the nodes cover all memory loops over
numa_meminfo to count the pages that have node id assigned by the firmware,
then loops again over memblock.memory to find the total amount of memory
and in the end checks that the difference between the total memory and
memory that covered by nodes is less than some threshold. Worse, the loop
over numa_meminfo calls __absent_pages_in_range() that also partially
traverses memblock.memory.

It's much simpler and more efficient to have a single traversal of
memblock.memory that verifies that amount of memory not covered by nodes is
less than a threshold.

Introduce memblock_validate_numa_coverage() that does exactly that and use
it instead of numa_meminfo_cover_memory().

With threshold in bytes there will be less conversions from pages to bytes.
Also, I don't think const has much value here and unsigned long should
suffice.
