Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm/memory_hotplug: Call register_mem_sect_under_node

From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@...e.de>

When hotpluging memory, it is possible that two calls are being made
to register_mem_sect_under_node().
One comes from __add_section()->hotplug_memory_register()
and the other from add_memory_resource()->link_mem_sections() if
we had to register a new node.

In case we had to register a new node, hotplug_memory_register()
will only handle/allocate the memory_block's since
register_mem_sect_under_node() will return right away because the
node it is not online yet.

I think it is better if we leave hotplug_memory_register() to
handle/allocate only memory_block's and make link_mem_sections()
to call register_mem_sect_under_node().

So this patch removes the call to register_mem_sect_under_node()
from hotplug_memory_register(), and moves the call to link_mem_sections()
out of the condition, so it will always be called.
In this way we only have one place where the memory sections
are registered.
