If it is me, I would like to take out these two similar logic out.
I also like this style. 
For example:

	if () {
	} else if () {
	} else {
		goto out;
Here the last else is unnecessary, right?
	}
Like this, I believe both David and I will be satisfactory. Even though
I still think his 2nd resetting is not needed :-)
	/* The zone has no valid section */
	if (!pfn) {
			zone->zone_start_pfn = 0;
			zone->spanned_pages = 0;
	}

out:
	zone_span_writeunlock(zone);

Well, this is just my personal taste :-)
