If the zone device page does not belong to un-addressable device memory,
the variable entry will be uninitialized and lead to indeterminate pte

Fix it by crashing the kernel with panic_on_warn? :)

If this case can actual happen, than no WARN_ON() - rather a pr_warn_once(). If this case cannot happen, why do we even care (it's not a fix then)?
