mm/memblock: reduce overhead in binary search

When checking that the indicated address belongs to the memory region, the
memory regions are checked one by one through a binary search, which will
be time consuming.

If the indicated address isn't in the memory region, then we needn't do
the time-consuming search.  Add a check on the indicated address for that
purpose.
