online_page_ext and page_ext_init allocate page_ext for each section, but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn) or !pfn_valid(pfn). Though the first page is not valid, page_ext could be useful for other pages in the section. But checking all PFNs in a section may be time consuming job. Let's check each (section count / 16) PFN, then prepare page_ext if any PFN is present or valid.
