Subject: [PATCH V2] mm: check pfn_valid first in zero_resv_unavail

With latest kernel I get below bug while testing kdump:

This is introduced with commit a4a3ede2132a ("mm: zero reserved and
unavailable struct pages")

The reason is some efi reserved boot ranges is not reported in E820 ram.
In my case it is a bgrt buffer:
efi: mem00: [Boot Data          |RUN|  |  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000000d2c41000-0x00000000d2c85fff] (0MB)

Use "add_efi_memmap" can workaround the problem with another fix:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171130052327.GA3500@dhcp-128-65.nay.redhat.com

In zero_resv_unavail it would be better to check pfn_valid first before zero
the page struct. This fixes the problem and potential other similar problems.
Also as Pavel Tatashin suggested checks pfn_valid at the beginning of the
section.
