[PATCH] Avoid excessive sorting of early_node_map[]

find_min_pfn_for_node() and find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() sort
early_node_map[] on every call.  This is an excessive amount of sorting and
that can be avoided.  This patch always searches the whole early_node_map[]
in find_min_pfn_for_node() instead of returning the first value found.  The
map is then only sorted once when required.  Successfully boot tested on a
number of machines.
