Fix potential crash with sys_move_pages
commit 6f5a55f1a6c5abee15a0e878e5c74d9f1569b8b0 upstream. We incorrectly depended on the 'node_state/node_isset()' functions testing the node range, rather than checking it explicitly. That's not reliable, even if it might often happen to work. So do the proper explicit test.
