#1457119 — [PATCH] mm: optimize find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes to avoid unnecessary loop.

From: zhong jiang <zhongjiang@huawei.com>

when required_kernelcore decrease to zero, we should exit the loop in time.
because It will waste time to scan the remainder node.

The patch is rather ugly and it only affects __init code, so the only
benefit will be to boot time.

Do we have any timing measurements which would justify changing this code?

  I am sorry for that.  That is a only theoretical analysis.
