memremap: check pfn validity before passing to pfn_to_page()

Browse Source 
In memremap's helper function try_ram_remap(), we dereference a struct
page pointer that was derived from a PFN that is known to be covered by
a 'System RAM' iomem region, and is thus assumed to be a 'valid' PFN,
i.e., a PFN that has a struct page associated with it and is covered by
the kernel direct mapping.

However, the assumption that there is a 1:1 relation between the System
RAM iomem region and the kernel direct mapping is not universally valid
on all architectures, and on ARM and arm64, 'System RAM' may include
regions for which pfn_valid() returns false.

Generally speaking, both __va() and pfn_to_page() should only ever be
called on PFNs/physical addresses for which pfn_valid() returns true, so
add that check to try_ram_remap().
