include/linux/mmzone.h:640:22: warning: potentially expensive pointer
subtraction
The code in question was doing a pointer subtraction to find the index of
the zone argument in the node_zones array. This essentially boils down to:
((unsigned long)zone - (unsigned
long)zone->zone_pgdat->node_zones)/sizeof(struct zone)
Which can be expensive if struct zone is not a power of two. Instead, just
calculate the offsets rather than the index in the array.

This shows up > 30 times in an x86 allyesconfig, would be nice to get
rid of it and makes the code a little more efficient. I believe this
is correct, unless there is a subtlety I have missed.
