Subject: [ 06/14] drivers/base/memory.c: fix show_mem_removable() to handle missing sections

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Russ Anderson <rja@....com>

commit 21ea9f5ace3a7317cc3ba1fbc749758021a83136 upstream.

"cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.

The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes

    if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))

to blow up.  Why is it passing in a bad pfn?

The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times.  sections_per_block is 16, but mem->section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block.  Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.
