mm/memory_hotplug: don't access uninitialized memmaps in shrink_zone_span()
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 d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory
hotplug"), the memmap was initialized with 0 and the node with the right
value. So the zone might be wrong but not garbage. After that commit,
both the zone and the node will be garbage when touching uninitialized
memmaps.
Toshiki reported a BUG (race between delayed initialization of
ZONE_DEVICE memmaps without holding the memory hotplug lock and
concurrent zone shrinking).

While creating a namespace and initializing memmap, if you destroy the
namespace and shrink the zone, it will initialize the memmap outside
the zone and trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page),
pfn), page) in set_pfnblock_flags_mask()."
This BUG is also mitigated by this commit, where we for now stop to
shrink the ZONE_DEVICE zone until we can do it in a safe and clean way.
