Subject: [PATCH 7/7] mm/hotplug: fix hot remove failure in SPARSEMEM|!VMEMMAP case

In section_deactivate(), pfn_to_page() doesn't work any more after
ms->section_mem_map is resetting to NULL in SPARSEMEM|!VMEMMAP case.
It caused hot remove failure, the trace is:

kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:4806!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 3 PID: 8 Comm: kworker/u16:0 Tainted: G        W         5.5.0-next-20200205+ #340

Let's defer the ->section_mem_map resetting after depopulate_section_memmap()
to fix it.
