Vishal Verma fa6d9ec790 mm/memory_hotplug: refrain from adding memory into an impossible node
A misbehaving qemu created a situation where the ACPI SRAT table
advertised one fewer proximity domains than intended.  The NFIT table did
describe all the expected proximity domains.  This caused the device dax
driver to assign an impossible target_node to the device, and when
hotplugged as system memory, this would fail with the following signature:

   BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000088

Add a check in the add_memory path to fail if the node to which we are
adding memory is in the node_possible_map

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
