Subject: [PATCH v2] arm: flush: check if the folio is reserved for no-mapping addresses

Since commit a4d5613c4dc6 ("arm: extend pfn_valid to take into account
freed memory map alignment") changes the semantics of pfn_valid() to check
presence of the memory map for a PFN. A valid page for an address which
is reserved but not mapped by the kernel[1], the system crashed during
some uio test with the following memory layout:

 node   0: [mem 0x00000000c0a00000-0x00000000cc8fffff]
 node   0: [mem 0x00000000d0000000-0x00000000da1fffff]
 the uio layout is：0xc0900000, 0x100000

the crash backtrace like:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bff00000

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

So check if PG_reserved was set to solve this issue.

v1 -> v2
 - Improve commit message
 - Use helpers instead of PG_reserved
 - drop the unnecessary include headers
