Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] mm: Teach pfn_to_online_page() to consider
 subsection validity

pfn_section_valid() determines pfn validity on subsection granularity.

pfn_valid_within() internally uses pfn_section_valid(), but gates it
with early_section() to preserve the traditional behavior of pfn_valid()
before subsection support was added.

pfn_to_online_page() wants the explicit precision that pfn_valid() does
not offer, so use pfn_section_valid() directly. Since
pfn_to_online_page() already open codes the validity of the section
number vs NR_MEM_SECTIONS, there's not much value to using
pfn_valid_within(), just use pfn_section_valid(). This loses the
valid_section() check that pfn_valid_within() was performing, but that
was already redundant with the online check.
