Hyper-V memory hotplug protocol has 2M granularity and in Linux x86 we use
128M. To deal with it we implement partial section onlining by registering
custom page onlining callback (hv_online_page()). Later, when more memory
arrives we try to online the 'tail' (see hv_bring_pgs_online()).
It was found that in some cases this 'tail' onlining causes issues:

Turns out that we now have deferred struct page initialization for memory
hotplug so e.g. memory_block_action() in drivers/base/memory.c does
pages_correctly_probed() check and in that check it avoids inspecting
struct pages and checks sections instead. But in Hyper-V balloon driver we
do PageReserved(pfn_to_page()) check and this is now wrong.
Switch to checking online_section_nr() instead.

I wonder if you should use pfn_to_online_page() and check for PageOffline().
(I guess online_section_nr() should also do the trick)
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.
This should probably be marked for stable then :)
