[PATCH] mm/ia64: fix a memory block size bug

Hi all,
I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be 0.
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is 32bits, so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32)
will equal to 0. This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs. I think
it should be:
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

linux-drf:/sys/devices/system/memory # ll
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 20 02:35 block_size_bytes
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Aug 20 02:19 memory0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 20 02:35 power
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 20 02:35 uevent

linux-drf:/sys/devices/system/memory # cat block_size_bytes
0

linux-drf:/sys/devices/system/memory/memory0 # cat *
8000000000000000
cat: node0: Is a directory
cat: node1: Is a directory
cat: node2: Is a directory
cat: node3: Is a directory
0
8000000000000000
cat: power: Is a directory
1
online
cat: subsystem: Is a directory

And "echo offline > memory0/state" will cause following call trace:
