[PATCH v2 2/3] mm: don't hide potentially null memmap pointer in sparse_remove_one_section

[Alastair D'Silva]

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@xxxxxxxxxxx>

By adding offset to memmap before passing it in to clear_hwpoisoned_pages,
we hide a potentially null memmap from the null check inside
clear_hwpoisoned_pages.

This patch passes the offset to clear_hwpoisoned_pages instead, allowing
memmap to successfully peform it's null check.
