Sigh, probably because it is a mess over there.

memory_hotplug.h and mmzone.h are included each other. Converted it directly to
a static inline triggers compilation errors because mmzone.h was included
somewhere else and found pfn_to_online_page() needs things like
pfn_valid_within() and online_section_nr() etc which are only defined later in
mmzone.h.

Move pfn_to_online_page() into mmzone.h triggers errors below.
