[PATCHv4 01/14] mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for SPARSEMEM_EXTREME

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

Size of mem_section array depends on size of physical address space.

In preparation for boot-time switching between paging modes on x86-64
we need to make allocation of mem_section dynamic.

The patch allocates the array on the first call to
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions().
