[PATCH 2/2] x86/numa: Fix the sort compare func used in numa_fill_memblks()

[alison.schofield@intel.com]

From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

The compare function used to sort memblks into starting address
order fails when the result of its u64 address subtraction gets
truncated to an int upon return.

The impact of the bad sort is that memblks will be filled out
incorrectly. Depending on the set of memblks, a user may see no
errors at all but still have a bad fill, or see messages reporting
a node overlap that leads to numa init failure:

[] node 0 [mem: ] overlaps with node 1 [mem: ]
[] No NUMA configuration found

Replace with a comparison that can only result in: 1, 0, -1.
