memory hotplug: fix section info double registration bug



There may be a bug when registering section info.  For example, on my
Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes, so
other nodes' section info will be double registered, and memmap's page
count will equal to 3.

  node0: start_pfn=0x100,    spanned_pfn=0x20fb00, present_pfn=0x7f8a3, => 0x000100-0x20fc00
  node1: start_pfn=0x80000,  spanned_pfn=0x80000,  present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x080000-0x100000
  node2: start_pfn=0x100000, spanned_pfn=0x80000,  present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x100000-0x180000
  node3: start_pfn=0x180000, spanned_pfn=0x80000,  present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x180000-0x200000

  free_all_bootmem_node()
	register_page_bootmem_info_node()
		register_page_bootmem_info_section()

When hot remove memory, we can't free the memmap's page because
page_count() is 2 after put_page_bootmem().

  sparse_remove_one_section()
	free_section_usemap()
		free_map_bootmem()
			put_page_bootmem()
