PATCH 1/2 memory-hotplug: fix not enough check of valid zones

As Yasuaki Ishimatsu described the check here is not enough if memory has hole as follows:

PFN 0x00 0xd0 0xe0 0xf0

             +-------------+-------------+-------------+
zone type   |   Normal    |     hole    |   Normal    |
             +-------------+-------------+-------------+

In this case, the check can't guarantee that this is "the last block of memory".
The check of ZONE_MOVABLE has the same problem.

PATCH 2/2 memory-hotplug: rename zones_online_to to valid_zones

Rename the interface to valid_zones according to most pepole's suggestion.

Sample output of the sysfs files:
memory0/valid_zones: none
memory1/valid_zones: DMA32
memory2/valid_zones: DMA32
memory3/valid_zones: DMA32
memory4/valid_zones: Normal
memory5/valid_zones: Normal
memory6/valid_zones: Normal Movable
memory7/valid_zones: Movable Normal
memory8/valid_zones: Movable

As Yasuaki Ishimatsu described the check here is not enough if memory has hole as follows:

PFN 0x00 0xd0 0xe0 0xf0

In this case, the check can't guarantee that this is "the last block of memory".
The check of ZONE_MOVABLE has the same problem.
