mm/sparsemem: support sub-section hotplug
The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity.
For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting
arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System
RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a given section:
# cat /proc/iomem | grep -A1 -B1 Persistent\ Memory
100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM
200000000-303ffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
304000000-43fffffff : System RAM
440000000-23ffffffff : Persistent Memory
2400000000-43bfffffff : Persistent Memory
2400000000-43bfffffff : namespace2.0

It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as
some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section.
The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm
section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long
while.
A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it
solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the
namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1],
address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM'
before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.
