x86/mm: stop marking vmemmap as SECTION_INFO
We added the whole bootmem registration machinery in commit 04753278769f
("memory hotplug: register section/node id to free").
The main use case was to remember to which memory section memmap pages
belonged, so the memmap could be handled accordingly when freeing memory.
However, all that machinery is not required anymore: a memory section can
only get offlined if *all* pages can get offlined; and it can only get
unplugged once offline. If some of these pages are unmovable memmap
pages: bad luck, doesn't work. Offlining will fail.
Further, a lot of this machinery was required for pre-vmemmap support.
Now we only support the vmemmap with memory hotplug.
So the whole machinery is useless today. Let's start by removing the last
pieces by first stopping to mark vmemmap pages as SECTION_INFO. In
free_vmemmap_pages(), we can now always just free the reserved pages
directly.
