test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'. Since this function is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is always aligned by section.
Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn. Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs to a zone.
