[PATCH] sparsemem interaction with memory add bug fixes
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>.
