Yasuaki Ishimatsu 5255e0a79f x86/mm/hotplug: Pass sync_global_pgds() a correct argument in remove_pagetable()
When hot-adding memory after hot-removing memory, following call
traces are shown:

The patch-set fixes the issue.

This patch (of 2):

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.
