Wei Yang 6cda72047e mm/sparse: only sub-section aligned range would be populated
There are two code path which invoke __populate_section_memmap()

  * sparse_init_nid()
  * sparse_add_section()

For both case, we are sure the memory range is sub-section aligned.

  * we pass PAGES_PER_SECTION to sparse_init_nid()
  * we check range by check_pfn_span() before calling
    sparse_add_section()

Also, the counterpart of __populate_section_memmap(), we don't do such
calculation and check since the range is checked by check_pfn_span() in
__remove_pages().

Clear the calculation and check to keep it simple and comply with its
counterpart.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
