[RESEND][PATCH] ARM: memmap: only free allocated memmap entries when using SPARSEMEM

[will.deacon@arm.com (Will Deacon)]

The SPARSEMEM code allocates memmap entries only for sections which are
present (i.e. those which contain some valid memory). The membank checks
in free_unused_memmap do not take this into account and can incorrectly
attempt to free memory which is not allocated, resulting in a BUG() in
the bootmem code.

However, if memory is configured as follows:

    |<----section---->|<----hole---->|<----section---->|
    +--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+
    | bank 0 | unused |              | bank 1 | unused |
    +--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+

where a bank only occupies part of a section, the memmap allocated for
the remainder of the section *can* be freed.

This patch modifies the checks in free_unused_memmap so that only valid
memmap entries are considered for removal.
