Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm,sparse: Fix deactivate_section for early sections

deactivate_section checks whether a section is early or not
in order to either call free_map_bootmem() or depopulate_section_memmap().
Being the former for sections added at boot time, and the latter for
sections hotplugged.

The problem is that we zero section_mem_map, so the last early_section()
will always report false and the section will not be removed.

Fix this checking whether a section is early or not at function
entry.

Fixes: mmotm ("mm/sparsemem: Support sub-section hotplug")
