I guess free_section_usemap() does the same thing.

But why put the call outside the "if (ms->section_mem_map)" block? If
you put it inside, then you don't have to check for !memmap in
clear_hwpoisoned_pages().

Also, we really frown on #ifdefs scattered throughout code. I'd suggest
either:

+static void clear_hwpoisoned_pages(struct page *memmap, int nr_pages)
+{
+#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE
... existing code
+#endif /* CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE */
+}

or

+#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE
+static void clear_hwpoisoned_pages(struct page *memmap, int nr_pages)
+{
... existing code
+}
+#else
+static void clear_hwpoisoned_pages(struct page *memmap, int nr_pages)
+{}
+#endif /* CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE */

and keep the #ifdef out of sparse_remove_one_section().
