[PATCH RESEND] memory hotplug: fix a double register section infobug

From: qiuxishi
Date: Thu Sep 13 2012 - 23:43:38 EST


There may be a bug when registering section info. For example, on
my Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes,
so other nodes' section info will be double registered, and memmap's
page count will equal to 3.

node0: start_pfn=0x100, spanned_pfn=0x20fb00, present_pfn=0x7f8a3, => 0x000100-0x20fc00
node1: start_pfn=0x80000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x080000-0x100000
node2: start_pfn=0x100000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x100000-0x180000
node3: start_pfn=0x180000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x180000-0x200000

free_all_bootmem_node()
register_page_bootmem_info_node()
register_page_bootmem_info_section()

When hot remove memory, we can't free the memmap's page because
page_count() is 2 after put_page_bootmem().

sparse_remove_one_section()
free_section_usemap()
free_map_bootmem()
put_page_bootmem()
