mm, compaction: make sure we isolate a valid PFN

When we have holes in a normal memory zone, we could endup having
cached_migrate_pfns which may not necessarily be valid, under heavy memory
pressure with swapping enabled ( via __reset_isolation_suitable(),
triggered by kswapd).

Later if we fail to find a page via fast_isolate_freepages(), we may end
up using the migrate_pfn we started the search with, as valid page.  This
could lead to accessing NULL pointer derefernces like below, due to an
invalid mem_section pointer.

The issue was reported on an arm64 server with 128GB with holes in the
zone (e.g, [32GB@4GB, 96GB@544GB]), with a swap device enabled, while
running 100 KVM guest instances.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that the page belongs to a valid
PFN when we fallback to using the lower limit of the scan range upon
failure in fast_isolate_freepages().
