powerpc: start loop at section start of start in vmemmap_populated()
vmemmap_populated() checks whether the [start, start + page_size) has valid pfn numbers, to know whether a vmemmap mapping has been created that includes this range. Some range before end might not be checked by this loop: sec11start......start11..sec11end/sec12start..end....start12..sec12end as the above, for start11(section 11), it checks [sec11start, sec11end), and loop ends as the next start(start12) is bigger than end. However, [sec11end/sec12start, end) is not checked here. So before the loop, adjust the start to be the start of the section, so we don't miss ranges like the above. After we adjust start to be the start of the section, it also means it's aligned with vmemmap as of the sizeof struct page, so we could use page_to_pfn directly in the loop.
