commit 124049decbb1 ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
memblock.reserved") breaks movable_node kernel option because it
changed the memory gap range to reserved memblock. So, the node
is marked as Normal zone even if the SRAT has Hot plaggable affinity.

Naoya's v1 patch [*] fixes the original issue and this movable_node
issue doesn't occur.
Let's revert commit 124049decbb1 ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM
regions into memblock.reserved") and apply the v1 patch.
