Subject: [PATCH 3/5] mm/sparse: move mem_sections allocation out of memory_present()

The only path to call memory_present() is from memblocks_present().
The struct mem_section **mem_section only needs to be initialized once,
so no need put the initialization/allocation code in memory_present()
which will be called multiple times for each section.

After moving, the 'unlikely' condition statement becomes to be
meaningless as it's only initialized one time, so dropped as well.
