Does the issue persist of you only revert the latest patch in the series?
In next-20210525 it would be commit 
89fb47db72f2 ("arm64-drop-pfn_valid_within-and-simplify-pfn_valid-fix")
and commit
dfe215e9bac2 ("arm64: drop pfn_valid_within() and simplify pfn_valid()").

The available and reserved sizes look weird. Can you post the log with
memblock=debug and mminit_loglevel=4 added to the kernel command line?

Do we know what PFN triggers it? Can you please run with this patch:

diff --git a/mm/memory_hotplug.c b/mm/memory_hotplug.c
