OK, so I've been thinkin about that and I believe that page_initialized
check in get_nid_for_pfn is just bogus. There is nothing to rely on the
page::lru to be already initialized. So I will go with the following as
a separate preparatory patch.

I believe the whole code should be revisited and I have put that on my
ever growing todo list because I suspect that it is more complex than
necessary. I suspect that memblock do not span more nodes and all this
is just-in-case code (e.g. the onlining code assumes a single zone aka
node. But let's do that later.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: drop page_initialized check from get_nid_for_pfn

c04fc586c1a4 ("mm: show node to memory section relationship with
symlinks in sysfs") has added means to export memblock<->node
association into the sysfs. It has also introduced get_nid_for_pfn
which is a rather confusing counterpart of pfn_to_nid which checks also
whether the pfn page is already initialized (page_initialized).  This
is done by checking page::lru != NULL which doesn't make any sense at
all. Nothing in this path really relies on the lru list being used or
initialized. Just remove it
