The VM_BUG_ON() check in move_freepages() checks whether the node
id of a page matches the node id of its zone. However, it does this
before having checked whether the struct page pointer refers to a
valid struct page to begin with. This is guaranteed in most cases,
but may not be the case if CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE=y.
So reorder the VM_BUG_ON() with the pfn_valid_within() check.
