ARM: 9359/1: flush: check if the folio is reserved for no-mapping addresses

Since commit a4d5613c4dc6 ("arm: extend pfn_valid to take into account
freed memory map alignment") changes the semantics of pfn_valid() to check
presence of the memory map for a PFN. A valid page for an address which
is reserved but not mapped by the kernel[1], the system crashed during
some uio test with the following memory layout:

 node   0: [mem 0x00000000c0a00000-0x00000000cc8fffff]
 node   0: [mem 0x00000000d0000000-0x00000000da1fffff]
 the uio layout is：0xc0900000, 0x100000

the crash backtrace like:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bff00000

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

So check if PG_reserved was set to solve this issue.

[Backport]

Adjusted context due to missing commits:
- 8b5989f33337 ("arm: implement the new page table range API")
- d389a4a81155 ("mm: Add folio flag manipulation functions")]

without merging them to avoid unnecessary changes to the code base.

[Fix]

Noble:  fixed via stable
Jammy:  Backport - adjusted contexts, see [Backport]
Focal:  Backport - adjusted contexts, see [Backport]
Bionic: not affected
Xenial: not affected
Trusty: not affected

[Test case]

Compile and boot tested

[Where problems could occur]

This fix affects __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__>=6, an issue with this fix would be
visible to user via a system crash.

[Notes]

v2:
  - improve the backport descriptions in commit message trailers
