[PATCH v2] mm: memblock: fix wrong memmove size in memblock_merge_regions()

From: Lin Feng
Date: Sun Jan 06 2013 - 22:42:30 EST


The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the index
of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2). So the size of remaining
array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)).
