UPSTREAM: mm: page_alloc: fix move_freepages_block() range error
When a block is partially outside the zone of the cursor page, the function cuts the range to the pivot page instead of the zone start. This can leave large parts of the block behind, which encourages incompatible page mixing down the line (ask for one type, get another), and thus long-term fragmentation. This triggers reliably on the first block in the DMA zone, whose start_pfn is 1. The block is stolen, but everything before the pivot page (which was often hundreds of pages) is left on the old list.
