mm: provide more accurate estimation of pages occupied by memmap
If SPARSEMEM is enabled, it won't build page structures for non-existing
pages (holes) within a zone, so provide a more accurate estimation of
pages occupied by memmap if there are bigger holes within the zone.
And pages for highmem zones' memmap will be allocated from lowmem, so
charge nr_kernel_pages for that.
