With altmap, all the resource pfns are not initialized. While initializing pfn, altmap reserve space is skipped. Hence when removing pfn from zone skip pfns that were never initialized. Update memunmap_pages to calculate start and end pfn based on altmap values. This fixes a kernel crash that is observed when destroying namespace.
