PATCH v3 1/1 mm/sparse: clarify pgdat_to_phys

Clarify pgdat_to_phys() by testing if
pgdat == &contig_page_data when CONFIG_NUMA=n.

We only expect contig_page_data in such case, so we use &contig_page_data directly instead of pgdat.

No functional change intended when CONFIG_BUG_VM=n.

Comment from Mark [1]:
"
... and I reckon it'd be clearer and more robust to define pgdat_to_phys() in the same ifdefs as contig_page_data so that these, stay in-sync. e.g. have:

| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x)	virt_to_phys(x)
| #else /* CONFIG_NUMA */
|
| extern struct pglist_data contig_page_data;
| ...
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x)	__pa_symbol(&contig_page_data)
|
| #endif /* CONIFIG_NUMA */

Change since v1:
Thanks for Mike's comment, check if pgdat == &contig_page_data, so it is clearer that we only expect contig_page_data when CONFIG_NUMA=n.

Change since v2:
use VM_BUG_ON() to avoid runtime checking when CONFIG_BUG_VM=n
