commit 7ce700bf upstream.

Let's limit shrinking to !ZONE_DEVICE so we can fix the current code.
We should never try to touch the memmap of offline sections where we
could have uninitialized memmaps and could trigger BUGs when calling
page_to_nid() on poisoned pages.

There is no reliable way to distinguish an uninitialized memmap from an
initialized memmap that belongs to ZONE_DEVICE, as we don't have
anything like SECTION_IS_ONLINE we can use similar to
pfn_to_online_section() for !ZONE_DEVICE memory.

E.g., set_zone_contiguous() similarly relies on pfn_to_online_section()
and will therefore never set a ZONE_DEVICE zone consecutive.  Stopping
to shrink the ZONE_DEVICE therefore results in no observable changes,
besides /proc/zoneinfo indicating different boundaries - something we
can totally live with.

Before commit d0dc12e8 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory
hotplug"), the memmap was initi...
