4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
[ Upstream commit f073bdc51771f5a5c7a8d1191bfc3ae371d44de7 ]
The VM_BUG_ON() check in move_freepages() checks whether the node id of a page matches the node id of its zone. However, it does this before having checked whether the struct page pointer refers to a valid struct page to begin with. This is guaranteed in most cases, but may not be the case if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=y.
So reorder the VM_BUG_ON() with the pfn_valid_within() check.
