Subject: [PATCH 4.4 101/230] mm, memory_hotplug: test_pages_in_a_zone do not pass the end of zone

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

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

[ Upstream commit 24feb47c5fa5b825efb0151f28906dfdad027e61 ]

If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary,
the mapping of such a section is only partly initialized.  This may lead
to VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct pages access from
test_pages_in_a_zone() function triggered by memory_hotplug sysfs
handlers.

Here are the the panic examples:
 CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y
 kernel parameter mem=2050M
 --------------------------
 page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned
 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
 Call Trace:
   test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160
   show_valid_zones+0x5c/0x190
   dev_attr_show+0x34/0x70

   system_call+0xdc/0x2d8
 Last Breaking-Event-Address:
   test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160
 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

Fix this by checking whether the pfn to check is within the zone.
