mm/sparse: never partially remove memmap for early section

For early sections, its memmap is handled specially even sub-section is
enabled.  The memmap could only be populated as a whole.

Quoted from the comment of section_activate():

    * The early init code does not consider partially populated
    * initial sections, it simply assumes that memory will never be
    * referenced.  If we hot-add memory into such a section then we
    * do not need to populate the memmap and can simply reuse what
    * is already there.

While current section_deactivate() breaks this rule.  When hot-remove a
sub-section, section_deactivate() would depopulate its memmap.  The
consequence is if we hot-add this subsection again, its memmap never get
proper populated.

We can reproduce the case by following steps:

1. Hacking qemu to allow sub-section early section

:   diff --git a/hw/i386/pc.c b/hw/i386/pc.c
:   index 51b3050d01..c6a78d83c0 100644

:
:            if (pcmc->enforce_aligned_dimm) {
:                /* size device region assuming 1G page max alignment per slot */

2. Bootup qemu with PSE disabled and a sub-section aligned memory size

   Part of the qemu command would look like this:

   sudo x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
       --enable-kvm -cpu host,pse=off \
       -m 4160M,maxmem=20G,slots=1 \
       -smp sockets=2,cores=16 \
       -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \
       -machine pc,nvdimm \
       -nographic \
       -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=8G \
       -device nvdimm,id=vm0,memdev=mem0,node=0,addr=0x144000000,label-size=128k

3. Re-config a pmem device with sub-section size in guest

   ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --size=16M

Then you would see the following call trace:
