mm: sparse: fix section usemap placement calculation
Commit 238305bb4d41 ("mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the bootmem allocator") introduced a bug in the allocation goal calculation that put section usemaps not in the same section as the node descriptors, creating unnecessary hotplug dependencies between them: node 0 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 1 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 2 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 3 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 4 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 5 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 6 must be removed before remove section 16399 The reason is that it applies PAGE_SECTION_MASK to the physical address of the node descriptor when finding a suitable place to put the usemap, when this mask is actually intended to be used with PFNs. Because the PFN mask is wider, the target address will point beyond the wanted section holding the node descriptor and the node must be offlined before the section holding the usemap can go. Fix this by extending the mask to address width before use.
