@Andrew, can you add

Fixes: 2c2a5af6fed2 ("mm, memory_hotplug: add nid parameter to
arch_remove_memory")

(which basically introduced the nid = page_to_nid(first_page))

The "page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)" was introduced by 69324b8f4833 ("mm,
devm_memremap_pages: add MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE support"), however, I
think we will never have driver reserved memory with
MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE (no altmap AFAIKS).

Also, I think

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.0+

makes sense.
