[PATCH v6 01/10] mm/memunmap: Don't access uninitialized memmap in memunmap_pages()

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com>

With an altmap, the memmap falling into the reserved altmap space are
not initialized and, therefore, contain a garbage NID and a garbage
zone. Make sure to read the NID/zone from a memmap that was initialzed.

This fixes a kernel crash that is observed when destroying a namespace:
