x86, numa: Implement pfn -> nid mapping granularity check

SPARSEMEM w/o VMEMMAP and DISCONTIGMEM, both used only on 32bit, use
sections array to map pfn to nid which is limited in granularity.  If
NUMA nodes are laid out such that the mapping cannot be accurate, boot
will fail triggering BUG_ON() in mminit_verify_page_links().

On 32bit, it's 512MiB w/ PAE and SPARSEMEM.  This seems to have been
granular enough until commit 2706a0bf7b (x86, NUMA: Enable
CONFIG_AMD_NUMA on 32bit too).  Apparently, there is a machine which
aligns NUMA nodes to 128MiB and has only AMD NUMA but not SRAT.  This
led to the following BUG_ON().

This patch implements node_map_pfn_alignment() which determines
maximum internode alignment and update numa_register_memblks() to
reject NUMA configuration if alignment exceeds the pfn -> nid mapping
granularity of the memory model as determined by PAGES_PER_SECTION.

This makes the problematic machine boot w/ flatmem by rejecting the
NUMA config and provides protection against crazy NUMA configurations.

+/**
+ * node_map_pfn_alignment - determine the maximum internode alignment
+ *
+ * This function should be called after node map is populated and sorted.
+ * It calculates the maximum power of two alignment which can distinguish
+ * all the nodes.
+ *
+ * For example, if all nodes are 1GiB and aligned to 1GiB, the return value
+ * would indicate 1GiB alignment with (1 << (30 - PAGE_SHIFT)).  If the
+ * nodes are shifted by 256MiB, 256MiB.  Note that if only the last node is
+ * shifted, 1GiB is enough and this function will indicate so.
+ *
+ * This is used to test whether pfn -> nid mapping of the chosen memory
+ * model has fine enough granularity to avoid incorrect mapping for the
+ * populated node map.
+ *
+ * Returns the determined alignment in pfn's.  0 if there is no alignment
+ * requirement (single node).
