It happened to work when initially implemented as the starting PFN was also aligned but with caching restarts and isolating in smaller chunks this is no longer always true. The impact is that the migrate scanner scans outside its current pageblock. As pfn_valid() is still checked properly it does not cause any failure and the impact of the bug is that in some cases it will scan more than necessary when it crosses a page boundary but by no more than COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX. It is highly unlikely this is even measurable but it's still wrong so this patch addresses the problem.
