Removing this check changes behaviour, not just clean up, so should be separated into another patch.

Further, this change seems buggy because, in addition to Kumaga-san's comment, memory outside of
cycle region can be passed to here. Please look at the below.

After this clean up, __exclude_unnecessary_pages() processes memory within cycle region only.
So, it's necessary to pass adjusted range, like:

if (MAX(mmd->pfn_start, cycle->start_pfn) < MIN(mmd->pfn_end, cycle->end_pfn))
  __exclude_unnecessary_pages(mmd->mem_map, MAX(mmd->pfn_start, cycle->start_pfn), MIN(mmd->pfn_end, cycle->end_pfn))

Thanks.
