mm/sparse: fix kernel crash with pfn_section_valid check

Fix the crash like this:

The crash is due to NULL dereference at

	test_bit(idx, ms->usage->subsection_map);

due to ms->usage = NULL in pfn_section_valid()

With commit d41e2f3bd5 ("mm/hotplug: fix hot remove failure in
SPARSEMEM|!VMEMMAP case") section_mem_map is set to NULL after
depopulate_section_mem().  This was done so that pfn_page() can work
correctly with kernel config that disables SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  With that
config pfn_to_page does

	__section_mem_map_addr(__sec) + __pfn;

where

  static inline struct page *__section_mem_map_addr(struct mem_section *section)
  {
	unsigned long map = section->section_mem_map;
	map &= SECTION_MAP_MASK;
	return (struct page *)map;
  }

Now with SPASEMEM_VMEMAP enabled, mem_section->usage->subsection_map is
used to check the pfn validity (pfn_valid()).  Since section_deactivate
release mem_section->usage if a section is fully deactivated,
pfn_valid() check after a subsection_deactivate cause a kernel crash.

  static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
  {
  ...
	return early_section(ms) || pfn_section_valid(ms, pfn);
  }

where

  static inline int pfn_section_valid(struct mem_section *ms, unsigned long pfn)
  {
	int idx = subsection_map_index(pfn);

	return test_bit(idx, ms->usage->subsection_map);
  }

Avoid this by clearing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP when mem_section->usage is
freed.  For architectures like ppc64 where large pages are used for
vmmemap mapping (16MB), a specific vmemmap mapping can cover multiple
sections.  Hence before a vmemmap mapping page can be freed, the kernel
needs to make sure there are no valid sections within that mapping.
Clearing the section valid bit before depopulate_section_memap enables
this.
