[PATCH] mm: make __paginginit based on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG

From: osalvador

From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx>

__pagininit macro is being used to mark functions for:

a) Functions that we do not need to keep once the system is fully
initialized with regard to memory.
b) Functions that will be needed for the memory-hotplug code,
and because of that we need to keep them after initialization.

Right now, the condition to choose between one or the other is based on
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, but I think that this should be changed to be based
on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

The reason behind this is that it can very well be that we have CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
enabled, but not CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, and thus, we will not need the
functions marked as __paginginit to stay around, since no
memory-hotplug code will call them.

Although the amount of freed bytes is not that big, I think it will
become more clear what __paginginit is used for.
