Subject: [PATCH 2/5] mm: don't hide potentially null memmap pointer in sparse_remove_one_section

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@...ilva.org>

By adding offset to memmap before passing it in to clear_hwpoisoned_pages,
is hides a potentially null memmap from the null check inside
clear_hwpoisoned_pages.

This patch passes the offset to clear_hwpoisoned_pages instead, allowing
memmap to successfully peform it's null check.
