memblock, numa: binary search node id



Current early_pfn_to_nid() on arch that support memblock go over
memblock.memory one by one, so will take too many try near the end.

We can use existing memblock_search to find the node id for given pfn,
that could save some time on bigger system that have many entries
memblock.memory array.

Here are the timing differences for several machines.  In each case with
the patch less time was spent in __early_pfn_to_nid().
