mm: sparse: fix section usemap placement calculation
Commit 238305bb4d41 ("mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the
bootmem allocator") introduced a bug in the allocation goal calculation
that put section usemaps not in the same section as the node
descriptors, creating unnecessary hotplug dependencies between them:
node 0 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 1 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 2 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 3 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 4 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 5 must be removed before remove section 16399
node 6 must be removed before remove section 16399
The reason is that it applies PAGE_SECTION_MASK to the physical address
of the node descriptor when finding a suitable place to put the usemap,
when this mask is actually intended to be used with PFNs. Because the
PFN mask is wider, the target address will point beyond the wanted
section holding the node descriptor and the node must be offlined before
the section holding the usemap can go.
Fix this by extending the mask to address width before use.
