Subject: [01/93] Fix potential crash with sys_move_pages

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

commit 6f5a55f1a6c5abee15a0e878e5c74d9f1569b8b0 upstream.

We incorrectly depended on the 'node_state/node_isset()' functions
testing the node range, rather than checking it explicitly.  That's not
reliable, even if it might often happen to work.  So do the proper
explicit test.
