mm/sparsemem: Fix ARM64 boot crash when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y

Since commit:

  83e3c48729d9 ("mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y")

we allocate the mem_section array dynamically in sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions(),
but some architectures, like arm64, don't call the routine to initialize sparsemem.

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