mm/memory_hotplug: don't access uninitialized memmaps in shrink_zone_span()
Let's limit shrinking to !ZONE_DEVICE so we can fix the current code. We should never try to touch the memmap of offline sections where we could have uninitialized memmaps and could trigger BUGs when calling page_to_nid() on poisoned pages. There is no reliable way to distinguish an uninitialized memmap from an initialized memmap that belongs to ZONE_DEVICE, as we don't have anything like SECTION_IS_ONLINE we can use similar to pfn_to_online_section() for !ZONE_DEVICE memory. E.g., set_zone_contiguous() similarly relies on pfn_to_online_section() and will therefore never set a ZONE_DEVICE zone consecutive. Stopping to shrink the ZONE_DEVICE therefore results in no observable changes, besides /proc/zoneinfo indicating different boundaries - something we can totally live with. Before commit d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory hotplug"), the memmap was initialized with 0 and the node with the right value. So the zone might be wrong but not garbage. After that commit, both the zone and the node will be garbage when touching uninitialized memmaps. Toshiki reported a BUG (race between delayed initialization of ZONE_DEVICE memmaps without holding the memory hotplug lock and concurrent zone shrinking). https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/14/1040 "Iteration of create and destroy namespace causes the panic as below: kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:535!

This BUG is also mitigated by this commit, where we for now stop to shrink the ZONE_DEVICE zone until we can do it in a safe and clean way.
