Subject: mm: fix accounting of memmap pages for early sections
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2025 10:40:15 +0200

memmap pages can be allocated either from the memblock (boot) allocator
during early boot or from the buddy allocator.

When these memmap pages are removed via arch_remove_memory(), the
deallocation path depends on their source:

* For pages from the buddy allocator, depopulate_section_memmap() is
  called, which also decrements the count of nr_memmap_pages.

* For pages from the boot allocator, free_map_bootmem() is called. But
  it currently does not adjust the nr_memmap_boot_pages.

To fix this inconsistency, update free_map_bootmem() to also decrement the
nr_memmap_boot_pages count by invoking memmap_boot_pages_add(), mirroring
how free_vmemmap_page() handles this for boot-allocated pages.

This ensures correct tracking of memmap pages regardless of allocation
source.
