Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/sparse.c: Use kvmalloc_node/kvfree to alloc/free memmap for the classic sparse

This change makes populate_section_memmap()/depopulate_section_memmap
much simpler.

v1->v2:
  The old version only used __get_free_pages() to replace alloc_pages()
  in populate_section_memmap().
