[PATCH 2/4] sparsemem interaction with memory add bug fixes

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

From: 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>.
