Offlining memory by 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory#/online' or reading valid_zones 'cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory#/valid_zones' causes BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request due to invalid use of pfn_valid_within. This is due to a bug in test_pages_in_a_zone.
In order to use pfn_valid_within within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages, a valid pfn within the block must first be found. There only needs to be one valid pfn found in test_pages_in_a_zone in the first place. So the fix is to replace pfn_valid_within with pfn_valid such that the first valid pfn within the pageblock is found (if it exists). This works independently of CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.
