Subject: [PATCH v1 02/11] mm/memory_hotplug: enforce section granularity when onlining/offlining

Already two people (including me) tried to offline subsections, because
the function looks like it can deal with it. But we really can only
online/offline full sections (e.g., we can only mark full sections
online/offline via SECTION_IS_ONLINE).

Add a simple safety net that to document the restriction now. Current users
(core and powernv/memtrace) respect these restrictions.
