Michal Hocko bfe63d3bea mm: drop page_initialized check from get_nid_for_pfn
Commit c04fc586c1 ("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 because this will become a problem with
later patches.

Thanks to Reza Arbab for testing which revealed this to be a problem

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
