mm/page_owner: don't access uninitialized memmaps when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo

Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger
kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.  They should not get
touched.

For example, when not onlining a memory block that is spanned by a zone
and reading /proc/pagetypeinfo with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS and
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING, we can trigger a kernel BUG:

  :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory40/online
  :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory42/online
  :/# cat /proc/pagetypeinfo > test.file
   page:fffff2c585200000 is uninitialized and poisoned
   raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
   raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
   page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
   There is not page extension available.
   ------------[ cut here ]------------
   kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1107!
   invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

Please note that this change does not affect ZONE_DEVICE, because
pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() is called from
mm/vmstat.c:pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount() only for populated zones, and
ZONE_DEVICE is never populated (zone->present_pages always 0).
