updated version:

[PATCH] x86: fix checking of SRAT when node0 ram is not from 0 -v3

Found one system that boot from socket1 instead of socket0, SRAT get rejected...

[ 0.000000] SRAT: PXMs only cover 917504MB of your 1048566MB e820 RAM. Not used.
[ 0.000000] SRAT: SRAT not used.

the early_node_map is not sorted because node0 with non zero start come first.

so try to sort it right away after all regions are registered.

also fixs refression by 8716273c (x86: Export srat physical topology)

-v2: make it more solid to handle cross node case like node0 [0,4g), [8,12g) and node1 [4g, 8g), [12g, 16g)
-v3: update comments.
