Subject: [PATCH v3] mm: Fix the problem of mips architecture Oops

The cause of the problem is as follows:
1. when cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/valid_zones,
test_pages_in_a_zone() will be called.
2. test_pages_in_a_zone() finds the zone according to stat_pfn = 0.
The smallest pfn of the numa node in the mips architecture is 128,
and the page corresponding to the previous 0~127 pfn is not
initialized (page->flags is 0xFFFFFFFF)
3. The nid and zonenum obtained using page_zone(pfn_to_page(0)) are out
of bounds in the corresponding array,
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)],
access to the out-of-bounds zone member variables appear abnormal,
resulting in Oops.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep the page between 0 and the minimum
pfn to prevent Oops from appearing.

applied to mips-next (with subject changed to reflect what patch does).
