Ketan ffd017237c mm: page_ext: add count limit to page_ext_iter_next to prevent invalid PFN access
The page_ext iteration API does not validate if the PFN still belongs to a
valid section while advancing the iterator.  When dynamically adding
memory in the hotplug path, it can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
during page_ext_lookup at the boundary of the last valid section when
iterator count equals __pgcount.

The for_each_page_ext() macro calls page_ext_iter_next() as its loop
increment.  for_each_page_ext() does a "__page_ext =
page_ext_iter_next(&__iter)" at the end.  This causes page_ext_iter_next()
to increment iter->index past __pgcount and call page_ext_lookup(start_pfn
+ __pgcount).  During memory hotplug (online), the PFN at start_pfn +
__pgcount may belong to a section that has not yet been initialized,
causing page_ext_lookup() to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

Move the iteration boundary enforcement inside the iterator functions, so
callers cannot inadvertently access beyond the requested range.
