If user only set boot option movablecore, and the value is larger than
totalpages, the calculation of kernelcore is zero, but we can't fill
the zone only with kernelcore, so skip it.

I have send a patch before this patch.
"fix overflow in find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes()"
		...
 		required_movablecore =
 			roundup(required_movablecore, MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES);
+		required_movablecore = min(totalpages, required_movablecore);
 		corepages = totalpages - required_movablecore;
		...
