Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/hotplug: invalid PFNs from pfn_to_online_page()

On an arm64 ThunderX2 server, the first kmemleak scan would crash [1]
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y due to page_to_nid() found a pfn that is
not directly mapped (MEMBLOCK_NOMAP). Hence, the page->flags is
uninitialized.

This is due to the commit 9f1eb38e0e11 ("mm, kmemleak: little
optimization while scanning") starts to use pfn_to_online_page() instead
of pfn_valid(). However, in the CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y case,
pfn_to_online_page() does not call memblock_is_map_memory() while
pfn_valid() does.

Historically, the commit 68709f45385a ("arm64: only consider memblocks
with NOMAP cleared for linear mapping") causes pages marked as nomap
being no long reassigned to the new zone in memmap_init_zone() by
calling __init_single_page().

Since the commit 2d070eab2e82 ("mm: consider zone which is not fully
populated to have holes") introduced pfn_to_online_page() and was
designed to return a valid pfn only, but it is clearly broken on arm64.

Therefore, let pfn_to_online_page() calls pfn_valid_within(), so it can
handle nomap thanks to the commit f52bb98f5ade ("arm64: mm: always
enable CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE"), while it will be optimized away on
architectures where have no HOLES_IN_ZONE.
