memblock: free_unused_memmap: use pageblock units instead of MAX_ORDER
The code that frees unused memory map uses rounds start and end of the holes that are freed to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES to preserve continuity of the memory map for MAX_ORDER regions. Lots of core memory management functionality relies on homogeneity of the memory map within each pageblock which size may differ from MAX_ORDER in certain configurations. Although currently, for the architectures that use free_unused_memmap(), pageblock_order and MAX_ORDER are equivalent, it is cleaner to have common notation thought mm code. Replace MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES with pageblock_nr_pages and update the comments to make it more clear why the alignment to pageblock boundaries is required.
