mm/sparse: fix check_usemap_section_nr warnings
I see a "virt_to_phys used for non-linear address" warning from check_usemap_section_nr() on arm64 platforms. In current implementation of NODE_DATA, if CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y, pglist_data is dynamically allocated and assigned to node_data[]. For example, in arch/arm64/include/asm/mmzone.h: extern struct pglist_data *node_data[]; #define NODE_DATA(nid) (node_data[(nid)]) If CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=n, pglist_data is defined as a global variable named "contig_page_data". For example, in include/linux/mmzone.h: extern struct pglist_data contig_page_data; #define NODE_DATA(nid) (&contig_page_data) If CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not enabled, __pa() can handle both dynamically allocated linear addresses and symbol addresses. However, if (CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y && CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=n) we can see the "virt_to_phys used for non-linear address" warning because that &contig_page_data is not a linear address on arm64.
