Subject: [PATCH] mm/memblock.c: fix index adjustment error in
 __next_mem_range_rev()

fix region index adjustment error when parameter type_b of
__next_mem_range_rev() == NULL
The patch is now fixing two bugs.  It'd be nice to describe each in
the description and how the patch was tested.

Both changes look good to me.  Provided the changes are tested,
