Now that the error in computation of corepages has been corrected
by commit 9fd745d450e7 ("mm: fix overflow in
find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes()"), oversized specifications of
movablecore will result in a zero value for required_kernelcore if
it is not also specified.

It is unintuitive for such a request to lead to no ZONE_MOVABLE
memory when the kernel parameters are clearly requesting some.

The current behavior when requesting an oversized kernelcore is to
classify all of the pages in movable_zone as kernelcore. The new
behavior when requesting an oversized movablecore (when not also
specifying kernelcore) is to similarly classify all of the pages
in movable_zone as movablecore.
