[PATCH 0/6] treewide: remove unnecessary invalid range checks in memblock iteration loops

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

The memblock API guarantees that for_each_mem_range() and
for_each_mem_pfn_range() never return an invalid range, meaning start is
always less than end.

Several memblock callers still have unnecessary invalid range checks in
their loop bodies, so remove them.

Patches 1-4 cover for_each_mem_range() callers. memblock never stores a
zero-size region, so the range it returns always has start < end. Some
callers apply __va() or __phys_to_virt() before comparing, but these keep
start < end too, so the check is unreachable.

Patches 5-6 cover for_each_mem_pfn_range() callers. __next_mem_pfn_range()
skips any region that contains no whole page, so it only ever returns
start_pfn < end_pfn and the check is unnecessary.

For reference, commit 36ca7f4be809 ("arm64: mm: Remove bogus stop
condition from map_mem() loop") did a similar cleanup in arm64 map_mem().

All these checks are in different trees, so I split the change into one
patch per arch/subsystem. The patches are independent and can be applied
separately.

[PATCH 1/6] arm64: mm: remove unreachable invalid range check in kasan_init_shadow()

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

kasan_init_shadow() maps each memblock region with for_each_mem_range()
and breaks the loop when start >= end. for_each_mem_range() never returns
an invalid range, so start < end always.

Therefore the start >= end check is unreachable, so remove it.

No functional change.
