Subject: Fix potential crash with sys_move_pages
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6f5a55f1a6c5abee15a0e878e5c74d9f1569b8b0;p=linux-beck.git

Fix potential crash with sys_move_pages

We incorrectly depended on the 'node_state/node_isset()' functions
testing the node range, rather than checking it explicitly.  That's not
reliable, even if it might often happen to work.  So do the proper
explicit test.
