Subject: [PATCH] base/memory: pass the base_section in add_memory_block

The second parameter of init_memory_block() is used to calculate the
start_section_nr of this block, which means any section in the same block
would get the same start_section_nr.

This patch passes the base_section to init_memory_block(), so that to
reduce a local variable and a check in every loop.
