When we have holes in a normal memory zone, we could endup having
cached_migrate_pfns which may not necessarily be valid, under heavy memory
pressure with swapping enabled ( via __reset_isolation_suitable(), triggered
by kswapd).

Later if we fail to find a page via fast_isolate_freepages(), we may
end up using the migrate_pfn we started the search with, as valid
page. This could lead to accessing NULL pointer derefernces like below,
due to an invalid mem_section pointer.

The issue was reported on an arm64 server with 128GB with holes in the zone
(e.g, [32GB@4GB, 96GB@544GB]), with a swap device enabled, while running 100 KVM
guest instances.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that the page belongs to a valid PFN
when we fallback to using the lower limit of the scan range upon failure in
fast_isolate_freepages().
