From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/memory_hotplug.c: check start_pfn in test_pages_in_a_zone()
test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by
section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'. Since this function is
called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is always
aligned by section.
Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn.
Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs to
a zone.
