[PATCH] sparsemem interaction with memory add bug fixes

[Mike Kravetz <mjkravetz@verizon.net>]

This patch fixes two bugs with the way sparsemem interacts with memory
add.  They are:
- memory leak if memmap for section already exists
- calling alloc_bootmem_node() after boot
These bugs were discovered and a first cut at the fixes were provided by
Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> and Joel Schopp <jschopp@us.ibm.com>.
