ARM: Fix pfn_valid() for sparse memory
On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory
between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole
in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However,
they want to be able to mmap() the hole.
This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that
there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making
pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is
contained within the meminfo array.
