[PATCH] memory hotplug: avoid double registration on ia64 platform

Hi all,
There may be have a bug when register section info. For example, on
an Itanium platform, the pfn range of node0 includes the other nodes.
So when hot remove memory, we can't free the memmap's page because
page_count() is 2 after put_page_bootmem().

sparse_remove_one_section()->free_section_usemap()->free_map_bootmem()
->put_page_bootmem()

pgdat0: start_pfn=0x100, spanned_pfn=0x20fb00, present_pfn=0x7f8a3, => 0x100-0x20fc00
pgdat1: start_pfn=0x80000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x80000-0x100000
pgdat2: start_pfn=0x100000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x100000-0x180000
pgdat3: start_pfn=0x180000, spanned_pfn=0x80000, present_pfn=0x80000, => 0x180000-0x200000
