mm, compaction: fix wrong pfn handling in __reset_isolation_pfn()

Florian and Dave reported [1] a NULL pointer dereference in
__reset_isolation_pfn().  While the exact cause is unclear, staring at
the code revealed two bugs, which might be related.

One bug is that if zone starts in the middle of pageblock, block_page
might correspond to different pfn than block_pfn, and then the
pfn_valid_within() checks will check different pfn's than those accessed
via struct page.  This might result in acessing an unitialized page in
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configs.

The other bug is that end_page refers to the first page of next
pageblock and not last page of current pageblock.  The online and valid
check is then wrong and with sections, the while (page < end_page) loop
might wander off actual struct page arrays.
