When using self-hosted vmemmap pages, the number of pages passed to
{online,offline}_pages might not fully span sections, but they always
fully span pageblocks.
Relax the check account for that case.

I'd only relax start_pfn. That way the function is pretty much impossible to abuse for sub-section onlining/offlining.

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!nr_pages ||
		 !IS_ALIGNED(start_pfn, pageblock_nr_pages))
		 !IS_ALIGNED(start_pfn + nr_pages, PAGES_PER_SECTION)))
