memory hotplug: allocate usemap on the section with pgdat
Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.
Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
other sections. This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.
Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and section B
has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
each other.
To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
removed finally.
