Subject: mm: fix accounting of memmap pages
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 20:35:45 +0200

For !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, memmap page accounting is currently done
upfront in sparse_buffer_init().  However, sparse_buffer_alloc() may
return NULL in failure scenario.

Also, memmap pages may be allocated either from the memblock allocator
during early boot or from the buddy allocator.  When removed via
arch_remove_memory(), accounting of memmap pages must reflect the original
allocation source.

To ensure correctness:
* Account memmap pages after successful allocation in sparse_init_nid()
  and section_activate().
* Account memmap pages in section_deactivate() based on allocation
  source.
