pfn_valid_within() calls pfn_valid() when CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE making it redundant for both definitions (w/wo CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG) of the helper pfn_to_online_page() which either calls pfn_valid() or pfn_valid_within(). pfn_valid_within() being 1 when !CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is irrelevant either
way. This does not change functionality.

Fixes: 2ce13640b3f4 ("mm: __first_valid_page skip over offline pages")

I would not say this patch fixes the commit 2ce13640b3f4 from 2017,
because the pfn_valid_within() in pfn_to_online_page() was introduced by
a recent commit b13bc35193d9e last month. :)

This makes sense to me. You can add Reviewed-by: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>.
