We currently try to shrink a single zone when removing memory. We use
the zone of the first page of the memory we are removing. If that
memmap was never initialized (e.g., memory was never onlined), we will
read garbage and can trigger kernel BUGs (due to a stale pointer):

Instead, shrink the zones when offlining memory or when onlining failed.
Introduce and use remove_pfn_range_from_zone(() for that. We now
properly shrink the zones, even if we have DIMMs whereby
- Some memory blocks fall into no zone (never onlined)
- Some memory blocks fall into multiple zones (offlined+re-onlined)
- Multiple memory blocks that fall into different zones
Drop the zone parameter (with a potential dubious value) from
__remove_pages() and __remove_section().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
