Yinghai Lu 2be19102b7 x86, NUMA: Fix empty memblk detection in numa_cleanup_meminfo()
numa_cleanup_meminfo() trims each memblk between low (0) and
high (max_pfn) limits and discards empty ones.  However, the
emptiness detection incorrectly used equality test.  If the
start of a memblk is higher than max_pfn, it is empty but fails
the equality test and doesn't get discarded.

The condition triggers when max_pfn is lower than start of a
NUMA node and results in memory misconfiguration - leading to
WARN_ON()s and other funnies.  The bug was discovered in devel
branch where 32bit too uses this code path for NUMA init.  If a
node is above the addressing limit, max_pfn ends up lower than
the node triggering this problem.

The failure hasn't been observed on x86-64 but is still possible
with broken hardware e820/NUMA info.  As the fix is very low
risk, it would be better to apply it even for 64bit.

Fix it by using >= instead of ==.
