x86-32, NUMA: Fix boot regression caused by NUMA init unification on highmem machines

During 32/64 NUMA init unification, commit 797390d8 ("x86-32,
NUMA: use sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions()") made
32bit mm init call memory_present() automatically from
active_regions instead of leaving it to each NUMA init path.

This commit description is inaccurate - memory_present() calls
aren't the same for flat and numaq.  After the commit,
memory_present() is only called for the intersection of e820 and
NUMA layout.  Before, on flatmem, memory_present() would be
called from 0 to max_pfn.  After, it would be called only on the
areas that e820 indicates to be populated.

This is how x86_64 works and should be okay as memmap is allowed
to contain holes; however, x86_32 DISCONTIGMEM is missing
early_pfn_valid(), which makes memmap_init_zone() assume that
memmap doesn't contain any hole.  This leads to the following
oops if e820 map contains holes as it often does on machine with
near or more 4GiB of memory by calling pfn_to_page() on a pfn
which isn't mapped to a NUMA node, a reported by Conny Seidel:

This patch fixes the bug by defining early_pfn_valid() to be the
same as pfn_valid() when DISCONTIGMEM.
