Subject: [PATCH v1 2/5] mm/memory_hotplug: enforce section alignment when onlining/offlining

onlining/offlining code works on whole sections, so let's enforce that.
Existing code only allows to add memory in memory block size. And only
whole memory blocks can be onlined/offlined. Memory blocks are always
aligned to sections, so this should not break anything.

online_pages/offline_pages will implicitly mark whole sections
online/offline, so the code really can only handle such granularities.

(especially offlining code cannot deal with pageblock_nr_pages but
 theoretically only MAX_ORDER-1)
