The patch titled
     Subject: mm/sparsemem: fix a bug in free_map_bootmem when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-sparsemem-fix-a-bug-in-free_map_bootmem-when-config_sparsemem_vmemmap.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/sparsemem: fix a bug in free_map_bootmem when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

We pass the number of pages which hold page structs of a memory section to
free_map_bootmem().  This is right when !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP but
wrong when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we
should pass the number of pages of a memory section to free_map_bootmem.

So the fix is removing the nr_pages parameter.  When
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we directly use the prefined marco
PAGES_PER_SECTION in free_map_bootmem.  When !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, we
calculate page numbers needed to hold the page structs for a memory
section and use the value in free_map_bootmem().

This was found by reading the code.  And I have no machine that support
memory hot-remove to test the bug now.
