Heh, I guess that it comes in handy to have a machine with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
enabled.
I totally missed the fact that systems with such configuration can have
uninitialized pages even if the section is online.
To be honest, I blindly thought that if a section was online, that means
that all its pages were initialized properly.

Thanks for fixing it:
