The first argument is used to find memory_block including the given pfn.
And in the above context remove_memory_block_devices() already has the
pointer "mem", so recalcurating it looked to me not necessary. Moreover,
this code is about to free the memory_block so updating the counter inside
it can be avoided. This is just a tiny optimization, and there can be
better option.
