hv_balloon: avoid touching uninitialized struct page during tail onlining

Browse Source 
Hyper-V memory hotplug protocol has 2M granularity and in Linux x86 we use
128M. To deal with it we implement partial section onlining by registering
custom page onlining callback (hv_online_page()). Later, when more memory
arrives we try to online the 'tail' (see hv_bring_pgs_online()).

It was found that in some cases this 'tail' onlining causes issues:

Turns out that we now have deferred struct page initialization for memory
hotplug so e.g. memory_block_action() in drivers/base/memory.c does
pages_correctly_probed() check and in that check it avoids inspecting
struct pages and checks sections instead. But in Hyper-V balloon driver we
do PageReserved(pfn_to_page()) check and this is now wrong.

Switch to checking online_section_nr() instead.
