[PATCH 4.9 61/96] mm, memory_hotplug: test_pages_in_a_zone do not pass the end of zone

[ Upstream commit 24feb47c5fa5b825efb0151f28906dfdad027e61 ]

If memory end is not aligned with the sparse memory section boundary,
the mapping of such a section is only partly initialized. This may lead
to VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct pages access from
test_pages_in_a_zone() function triggered by memory_hotplug sysfs
handlers.

Here are the the panic examples:
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y
kernel parameter mem=2050M
--------------------------
page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
Call Trace:
test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160
show_valid_zones+0x5c/0x190
dev_attr_show+0x34/0x70

Last Breaking-Event-Address:
test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

Fix this by checking whether the pfn to check is within the zone.
