mm: fix accounting of memmap pages
For !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, memmap page accounting is currently done
upfront in sparse_buffer_init(). However, sparse_buffer_alloc() may
return NULL in failure scenario.
Also, memmap pages may be allocated either from the memblock allocator
during early boot or from the buddy allocator. When removed via
arch_remove_memory(), accounting of memmap pages must reflect the original
allocation source.
To ensure correctness:
* Account memmap pages after successful allocation in sparse_init_nid()
and section_activate().
* Account memmap pages in section_deactivate() based on allocation
source.

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 reStructuredText 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.
