Subject: [PATCH v4 2/8] mm/memory_hotplug: Don't access uninitialized memmaps in shrink_zone_span()

Let's limit shrinking to !ZONE_DEVICE so we can fix the current code. We
should never try to touch the memmap of offline sections where we could
have uninitialized memmaps and could trigger BUGs when calling
page_to_nid() on poisoned pages.

Stopping to shrink the ZONE_DEVICE is fine as set_zone_contiguous() cannot
deal with ZONE_DEVICE either way. The zones will always be !contiguous
already and zone shrinking is therefore of limited use.

Before commit d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory
hotplug"), the memmap was initialized with 0 and the node with the
right value. So the zone might be wrong but not garbage. After that
commit, both the zone and the node will be garbage when touching
uninitialized memmaps.
