Subject: [PATCH -next] mm/hotplug: skip bad PFNs from pfn_to_online_page()

The linux-next commit "mm/sparsemem: Add helpers track active portions
of a section at boot" [1] causes a crash below when the first kmemleak
scan kthread kicks in. This is because kmemleak_scan() calls
pfn_to_online_page(() which calls pfn_valid_within() instead of
pfn_valid() on x86 due to CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=n.

The commit [1] did add an additional check of pfn_section_valid() in
pfn_valid(), but forgot to add it in the above code path.

page:ffffea0002748000 is uninitialized and poisoned
raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
