Subject: x86,mem-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-sets fix 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.
