[merged mm-stable] mm-sparse-keep-mem_section_usage_size-internal.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/sparse: keep mem_section_usage_size() internal
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-sparse-keep-mem_section_usage_size-internal.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/sparse: keep mem_section_usage_size() internal
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 10:25:36 +0800

mem_section_usage_size() is only needed by sparsemem implementation code
after commit ae751d567baa ("mm/bootmem_info: stop marking
mem_section_usage as MIX_SECTION_INFO"), so keeping the declaration in
mmzone.h now exposes the helper to all mmzone.h users for no reason.

Move the helper to sparse.h so sparse.c and sparse-vmemmap.c can share it
through the internal header.  While doing so, calculate the allocation
size with struct_size_t(), which ties the expression to the
pageblock_flags trailing array instead of open-coding the struct header
plus bitmap size.
