        memory hotplug: allocate usemap on the section with pgdat
    
        Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.
    
        Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
        on only one page.  If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
        other sections.  This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.
    
        Pgdat has similar feature.  When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
        section for removing on the node.  So, if section A has pgdat and section B
        has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
        each other.
    
        To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
        If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
        removed finally....
