Yes, found it when changing code. Later in sparse_init(), added checking
to see if usemap is available, otherwise also do "ms->section_mem_map = 0;"
to clear its ->section_mem_map.
Here if want to be perfect, we may need to free the relevant memmap
because usemap is allocated together, memmap could be allocated one
section by one section. I didn't do that because usemap allocation is
smaller one, if that allocation even failed in this early system
initializaiton stage, the kernel won't live long, so don't bother to do
that to complicate code.
