Subject: [PATCH] mm/pages_alloc.c: Don't create ZONE_MOVABLE beyond the end of a node

ZONE_MOVABLE uses the remaining memory in each node. It's starting pfn
is also aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. It is possible for the remaining
memory in a node to be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, meaning there is
not enough room for ZONE_MOVABLE on that node.

Unfortunately this condition is not checked for. This leads to
zone_movable_pfn[] getting set to a pfn greater than the last pfn in a
node.

calculate_node_totalpages() then sets zone->present_pages to be greater
than zone->spanned_pages which is invalid, as spanned_pages represents
the maximum number of pages in a zone assuming no holes.

Subsequently it is possible free_area_init_core() will observe a zone of
size zero with present pages. In this case it will skip setting up the
zone, including the initialisation of free_lists[].

However populated_zone() checks zone->present_pages to see if a zone has
memory available. This is used by iterators such as
walk_zones_in_node(). pagetypeinfo_showfree() uses this to walk the
free_list of each zone in each node, which are assumed to be initialised
due to the zone not being empty. As free_area_init_core() never
initialised the free_lists[] this results in the following kernel crash
when trying to read /proc/pagetypeinfo:

Fix this by checking that the aligned zone_movable_pfn[] does not exceed
the end of the node, and if it does skip creating a movable zone on this
node.
