[PATCH v10 2/8] mm,memory_hotplug: Relax fully spanned sections check

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Wed Apr 21 2021 - 06:27:15 EST


We want {online,offline}_pages to operate on whole memblocks, but
memmap_on_memory will poke pageblock_nr_pages aligned holes in the
beginning, which is a special case we want to allow.
Relax the check to account for that case.
