[patch 108/155] mm/sparsemem: get address to page struct instead of address to pfn

Subject: mm/sparsemem: get address to page struct instead of address to pfn

memmap should be the address to page struct instead of address to pfn.

As mentioned by David, if system memory and devmem sit within a section,
the mismatch address would lead kdump to dump unexpected memory.

Since sub-section only works for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, pfn_to_page() is valid
to get the page struct address at this point.
