[PATCH 1/2] x86,mem-hotplug: pass sync_global_pgds() a correct argument in remove_pagetable()

[Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com>]

remove_pagetable() gets start argument and passes the argument to
sync_global_pgds(). In this case, the argument must not be modified.
If the argument is modified and passed to sync_global_pgds(),
sync_global_pgds() does not correctly synchronize PGD to PGD entries
of all processes MM since synchronized range of memory [start, end]
is wrong.

Unfortunately the start argument is modified in remove_pagetable().
So this patch fixes the issue.
