[PATCH 03/12] mm/sparse: move initialization of section metadata to sparse_metadata_init()
From: David Hildenbrand (Arm)
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 11:22:28 EST
Let's move the code responsible for initializing sparse metadata (usemap,
memmap) into a helper. Cleanup the variable while at it (e.g.,
"map_count").
Drop the rather obvious code comments.
No functional change intended.
