The changelog should read:

	online_pages() is only compiled for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE,
	so there is no need to support CONFIG_FLATMEM code within it.

	This patch removes code that is never used.

since this code is dependant on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE, not 
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM.

After that:
