/proc/kpageflags: do not use uninitialized struct pages
A kernel panic was observed during reading /proc/kpageflags for first few
pfns allocated by pmem namespace:

The reason for the panic is that stable_page_flags() which parses the page
flags uses uninitialized struct pages reserved by the ZONE_DEVICE driver.
Earlier approach to fix this was discussed here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=152964770000672&w=2
This is another approach. To avoid using the uninitialized struct page,
immediately return with KPF_RESERVED at the beginning of
stable_page_flags() if the page is reserved by ZONE_DEVICE driver.
Dan said:
: The nvdimm implementation uses vmem_altmap to arrange for the 'struct
: page' array to be allocated from a reservation of a pmem namespace. A
: namespace in this mode contains an info-block that consumes the first
: 8K of the namespace capacity, capacity designated for page mapping,
: capacity for padding the start of data to optionally 4K, 2MB, or 1GB
: (on x86), and then the namespace data itself. The implementation
: specifies a section aligned (now sub-section aligned) address to
: arch_add_memory() to establish the linear mapping to map the metadata,
: and then vmem_altmap indicates to memmap_init_zone() which pfns
: represent data. The implementation only specifies enough 'struct page'
: capacity for pfn_to_page() to operate on the data space, not the
: namespace metadata space.
:
: The proposal to validate ZONE_DEVICE pfns against the altmap seems the
: right approach to me.
