memory hotplug: fix page_zone() calculation in test_pages_isolated()
My last bugfix here (adding zone->lock) introduced a new problem: Using page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)) to get the zone after the for() loop is wrong. pfn will then be >= end_pfn, which may be in a different zone or not present at all. This may lead to an addressing exception in page_zone() or spin_lock_irqsave(). Now I use __first_valid_page() again after the loop to find a valid page for page_zone().
