[PATCH v6 3/5] mm/sparse: Add a new parameter 'data_unit_size' for alloc_usemap_and_memmap

alloc_usemap_and_memmap() is passing in a "void *" that points to
usemap_map or memmap_map. In next patch we will change both of the
map allocation from taking 'NR_MEM_SECTIONS' as the length to taking
'nr_present_sections' as the length. After that, the passed in 'void*'
needs to update as things get consumed. But, it knows only the
quantity of objects consumed and not the type. This effectively
tells it enough about the type to let it update the pointer as
objects are consumed.
