mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core
With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node
but try to free that on other node. This can cause some pages to be
freed wrongly.
For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for
gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some
range afterwards.
With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just
loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.
This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx
and eidx according the ram range that the node has.
And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case. We could
use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure. So next
time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem
directly.
