Qian Cai a26ee565b6 mm/page_owner: don't access uninitialized memmaps when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo 
Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger
kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.  They should not get
touched.

For example, when not onlining a memory block that is spanned by a zone
and reading /proc/pagetypeinfo with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS and
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING, we can trigger a kernel BUG:

  :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory40/online
  :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory42/online
  :/# cat /proc/pagetypeinfo > test.file
   page:fffff2c585200000 is uninitialized and poisoned
   raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
   raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
   page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
   There is not page extension available.
   ------------[ cut here ]------------
   kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1107!
   invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

Please note that this change does not affect ZONE_DEVICE, because
pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() is called from
mm/vmstat.c:pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount() only for populated zones, and
ZONE_DEVICE is never populated (zone->present_pages always 0).

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.
