and bisected it down to commit efad4e475c31 ("mm, memory_hotplug:
is_mem_section_removable do not pass the end of a zone").

The reason for the crash is that the mapping is garbage for poisoned
(uninitialized) page.  This shouldn't happen as all pages in the zone's
boundary should be initialized.

Later debugging revealed that the actual problem is an off-by-one when
evaluating the end_page.  'start_pfn + nr_pages' resp 'zone_end_pfn'
refers to a pfn after the range and as such it might belong to a
differen memory section.

This along with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM then makes the loop condition
completely bogus because a pointer arithmetic doesn't work for pages
from two different sections in that memory model.

Fix the issue by reworking is_pageblock_removable to be pfn based and
only use struct page where necessary.  This makes the code slightly
easier to follow and we will remove the problematic pointer arithmetic
completely.
