I'm worried a bit about racing with mm code here as we're not doing mem_hotplug_begin()/done() so I'd slightly prefer keeping online_section_nr() (pfn_to_online_page() also uses it but then it gets to the particular struct page). Moreover, with pfn_to_online_page() we will be looking at some other pfn - because the start_pfn is definitelly offline (pre-patch we were looking at start_pfn-1). Just looking at the whole section seems cleaner. P.S. I still think about bringing mem_hotplug_begin()/done() to hv_balloon but that's going to be a separate discussion, here I want to have a small fix backportable to stable.
