Subject: [PATCH] mm, sparse: Fix boot on arm64

Since 83e3c48729d9 ("mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y") we allocate mem_section dynamically in
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions(). But some architectures, like
arm64, don't use the routine to initialize sparsemem.

Let's move the initialization into memory_present() it should cover all
architectures.
