On some machines, nodes do not always start on MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
boundaries. The rest of the VM assumes that pages within a
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES range always have valid memmap entries. So,
we round down the bank_start in free_unused_memmap to ensure that
there are valid page structs for all pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
block of pages.
