Mikhail Zaslonko 4e8346d0be memory_hotplug: fix kernel_panic on offline page processing 
Within show_valid_zones() the function test_pages_in_a_zone() should be
called for online memory blocks only.

Otherwise it might lead to the VM_BUG_ON due to uninitialized struct
pages (when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS kernel option is set):

 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))

That VM_BUG_ON was triggered by the page poisoning introduced in
mm/sparse.c with the git commit d0dc12e86b ("mm/memory_hotplug:
optimize memory hotplug").

With the same commit the new 'nid' field has been added to the struct
memory_block in order to store and later on derive the node id for
offline pages (instead of accessing struct page which might be
uninitialized).  But one reference to nid in show_valid_zones() function
has been overlooked.  Fixed with current commit.  Also, nr_pages will
not be used any more after test_pages_in_a_zone() call, do not update
it.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
