Who is we? I do not see any note explicitly requiring that start_pfn has
to be valid for __pageblock_pfn_to_page.

Sorry for confusing, what I mean is the __pageblock_pfn_to_page() function, which has used pfn_to_online_page() for start pfn. So the pfn_valid() in __pageblock_pfn_to_page() for start pfn is unnecessary.

I will update the commit log to make it clear.

it is online and valid, so the pfn_valid() for the start pfn is
unnecessary, drop it.
