From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: drop page_initialized check from get_nid_for_pfn
c04fc586c1a4 ("mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks
in sysfs") has added means to export memblock<->node association into the
sysfs. It has also introduced get_nid_for_pfn which is a rather confusing
counterpart of pfn_to_nid which checks also whether the pfn page is
already initialized (page_initialized). This is done by checking
page::lru != NULL which doesn't make any sense at all. Nothing in this
path really relies on the lru list being used or initialized. Just remove
it because this will become a problem with later patches.
Thanks to Reza Arbab for testing which revealed this to be a problem
