pfn_to_online_page is primarily used to filter out offline or fully
uninitialized pages. pfn_valid resp. online_section_nr have a coarse
per memory section granularity. If a section shared with a partially
offline memory (e.g. part of ZONE_DEVICE) then pfn_to_online_page
would lead to a false positive on some pfns. Fix this by adding
pfn_section_valid check which is subsection aware.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
