[PATCH 1/5] mm: Trigger bug on if a section is not found in __section_nr

[Alastair D'Silva]

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If a memory section comes in where the physical address is greater than
that which is managed by the kernel, this function would not trigger the
bug and instead return a bogus section number.

This patch tracks whether the section was actually found, and triggers the
bug if not.
