David Hildenbrand b6c88d3b9d drivers/base/memory.c: don't store end_section_nr in memory blocks
Each memory block spans the same amount of sections/pages/bytes.  The size
is determined before the first memory block is created.  No need to store
what we can easily calculate - and the calculations even look simpler now.

Michal brought up the idea of variable-sized memory blocks.  However, if
we ever implement something like this, we will need an API compatibility
switch and reworks at various places (most code assumes a fixed memory
block size).  So let's cleanup what we have right now.

While at it, fix the variable naming in register_mem_sect_under_node() -
we no longer talk about a single section.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
