mm/compaction: pass only pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page

pageblock_pfn_to_page() is used to check there is valid pfn and all
pages in the pageblock is in a single zone.  If there is a hole in the
pageblock, passing arbitrary position to pageblock_pfn_to_page() could
cause to skip whole pageblock scanning, instead of just skipping the
hole page.  For deterministic behaviour, it's better to always pass
pageblock aligned range to pageblock_pfn_to_page().  It will also help
further optimization on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in the following patch.
