Subject[PATCH] mm: Fix section mismatch in memory_hotplug.c
From
 __free_pages_bootmem() is a __meminit function - which has been called
from put_pages_bootmem thus causes a section mismatch warning.

We were warned by the following warning:

LD mm/built-in.o
WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x26b22): Section mismatch in reference
from the function put_page_bootmem() to the function
.meminit.text:__free_pages_bootmem()
The function put_page_bootmem() references
the function __meminit __free_pages_bootmem().
This is often because put_page_bootmem lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of __free_pages_bootmem is wrong.
