From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: cleanup sparse_init_one_section() return value
We mark and check that the section is present under a spin_lock() in
sparse_add_one_section(), so the lock ensures it will not change between
those 2 events. Also, we do not check the -EBUSY return value in
sparse_init(). Just make sparse_init_one_section() return void and clean
up the error handling.
