Not sure if we should add checking in valid_section() or pfn_valid(),
e.g check ms->usage validation too. Otherwise, this fix looks good to
me.
With SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled, we should do validation check on ms->usage
before checking any subsection is valid. Since now we do have case
in which ms->usage is released, people still try to check it.

We always check for section valid, before we check if pfn_section_valid().

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)

	struct mem_section *ms;

	if (pfn_to_section_nr(pfn) >= NR_MEM_SECTIONS)
		return 0;
	ms = __nr_to_section(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn));
	if (!valid_section(ms))
		return 0;
	/*
	 * Traditionally early sections always returned pfn_valid() for
	 * the entire section-sized span.
	 */
	return early_section(ms) || pfn_section_valid(ms, pfn);
}


IMHO adding that if (!ms->usage) is redundant.
