    mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core · 5a982cbc

    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.
