Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix pfn spans two sections in has_unmovable_pages()

If the pfn is not aligned to pageblock, the check pfn may access a next
pageblcok, and the next pageblock may belong to a next section. Because
struct page has not been alloced in the next section, so kernel panic. 

I find the caller of has_unmovable_pages() has passed a aligned pfn, so it
doesn't have this problem. But the earlier kernel version(e.g. v3.10) has.
e.g. echo xxx > /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page could trigger
it. The following log is from RHEL v7.1
