From: Oscar Salvador

From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx>

v3 -> v4:
- Make nodemask_t a stack variable
- Added Reviewed-by from David and Pavel

v2 -> v3:
- NODEMASK_FREE can deal with NULL pointers, so do not
make it conditional (by David).
- Split up node_online's check patch (David's suggestion)
- Added Reviewed-by from Andrew and David
- Fix checkpath.pl warnings

This patchset does some cleanups and refactoring in the memory-hotplug code.

The first and the second patch are pretty straightforward, as they
only remove unused arguments/checks.

The third patch refactors unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes a bit by re-defining
nodemask_t as a stack variable. (More details in Patch3's changelog)

The fourth patch removes a node_online check. (More details in Patch4's changelog)
Since this change has a patch for itself, we could quickly revert it
if we notice that something is wrong with it, or drop it if people
are concerned about it.

Oscar Salvador (4):
mm/memory-hotplug: Drop unused args from remove_memory_section
mm/memory_hotplug: Drop mem_blk check from
unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes
mm/memory_hotplug: Define nodemask_t as a stack variable
mm/memory_hotplug: Drop node_online check in
unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes
