If kernelcore or movablecore is specified at the same time
with movablecore_map, movablecore_map will have higher
priority to be satisfied.
This patch will make find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes()
calculate zone_movable_pfn[] with the limit from
zone_movable_limit[].

change log:
Move find_usable_zone_for_movable() to free_area_init_nodes()
so that sanitize_zone_movable_limit() in patch 3 could use
initialized movable_zone.

Could you explain this part of codes? hard to understand.
