A kernel panic was observed during reading /proc/kpageflags for first few pfns allocated by pmem namespace:

The reason for the panic is that stable_page_flags() which parses the page flags uses uninitialized struct pages reserved by the ZONE_DEVICE driver.
Earlier approach to fix this was discussed here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=152964770000672&w=2
This is another approach. To avoid using the uninitialized struct page, immediately return with KPF_RESERVED at the beginning of stable_page_flags() if the page is reserved by ZONE_DEVICE driver.
