Hibernation: Fix mark_nosave_pages()
There is a problem in the hibernation code that triggers on some NUMA
systems on which pfn_valid() returns 'true' for some PFNs that don't
belong to any zone. Namely, there is a BUG_ON() in
memory_bm_find_bit() that triggers for PFNs not belonging to any
zone and passing the pfn_valid() test. On the affected systems it
triggers when we mark PFNs reported by the platform as not saveable,
because the PFNs in question belong to a region mapped directly using
iorepam() (i.e. the ACPI data area) and they pass the pfn_valid()
test.
Modify memory_bm_find_bit() so that it returns an error if given PFN
doesn't belong to any zone instead of crashing the kernel and ignore
the result returned by it in mark_nosave_pages(), while marking the
"nosave" memory regions.
This doesn't affect the hibernation functionality, as we won't touch
the PFNs in question anyway.
