There were two commits replacing the reverted commit, fixing
is_mem_section_removable() and test_pages_in_a_zone() respectively:

commit 24feb47c5fa5 ("mm, memory_hotplug: test_pages_in_a_zone do not
pass the end of zone")
commit efad4e475c31 ("mm, memory_hotplug: is_mem_section_removable do
not pass the end of a zone")
