Subject: kmemleak scan crash due to invalid PFNs

On an arm64 ThunderX2 server, the first kmemleak scan would crash with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y due to page_to_nid() found a pfn that is not directly
mapped. Hence, the page->flags is not initialized.

Reverted 9f1eb38e0e113 (mm, kmemleak: little optimization while scanning) fixed
the problem.
