pfn_section_valid() determines pfn validity on subsection granularity.

pfn_valid_within() internally uses pfn_section_valid(), but gates it
with early_section() to preserve the traditional behavior of pfn_valid()
before subsection support was added.

pfn_to_online_page() wants the explicit precision that pfn_valid() does
not offer, so use pfn_section_valid() directly. Since
pfn_to_online_page() already open codes the validity of the section
number vs NR_MEM_SECTIONS, there's not much value to using
pfn_valid_within(), just use pfn_section_valid(). This loses the
valid_section() check that pfn_valid_within() was performing, but that
was already redundant with the online check.

That's not sufficient for alternative implementations of pfn_valid().

You still need some kind of pfn_valid(pfn) for alternative versions of
pfn_valid(). Consider arm64 memory holes in the memmap. See their
current (yet to be fixed/reworked) pfn_valid() implementation.
(pfn_valid_within() is implicitly active on arm64)

Actually, I think we should add something like the following, to make
this clearer (pfn_valid_within() is confusing)

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
	/* We might have to check for holes inside the memmap. */
	if (!pfn_valid())
		return NULL;
#endif

I have to confess that I was a bit confused by pfn_valid_within + HOLES_IN_ZONES
+ HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID.

At first I thought that we should stick with pfn_valid_within, as we also
depend on HOLES_IN_ZONES, so it could be that

 if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID))
  ...

would to too much work, as if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONES was not set but an arch
pfn_valid was provided, we would perform unedeed checks.
But on a closer look, CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONES is set by default on arm64, and
on ia64 when SPARSEMEM is set, so looks fine.

Looks good to me, I'll take Oscar's version that uses IS_ENABLED().

Skipping the call to pfn_valid() saves 16-bytes of code text on x86_64.
