[PATCH] mm: bootmem: Check pfn_valid() before accessing struct page

[Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>]

We need to check that a pfn is valid before handing it to pfn_to_page()
since on low memory systems with CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n it's possible that a
pfn may not have a corresponding struct page.

This is in fact the case for one of Alan's machines where some of the
EFI boot services pages live in highmem, and running a kernel without
CONFIG_HIGHMEM enabled results in the following oops,

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f1f080
