Miles Chen ccbd6283a9 mm/sparse: fix check_usemap_section_nr warnings
I see a "virt_to_phys used for non-linear address" warning from
check_usemap_section_nr() on arm64 platforms.

In current implementation of NODE_DATA, if CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y,
pglist_data is dynamically allocated and assigned to node_data[].

For example, in arch/arm64/include/asm/mmzone.h:

  extern struct pglist_data *node_data[];
  #define NODE_DATA(nid)          (node_data[(nid)])

If CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=n, pglist_data is defined as a global
variable named "contig_page_data".

For example, in include/linux/mmzone.h:

  extern struct pglist_data contig_page_data;
  #define NODE_DATA(nid)          (&contig_page_data)

If CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not enabled, __pa() can handle both
dynamically allocated linear addresses and symbol addresses.  However,
if (CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y && CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=n) we can see
the "virt_to_phys used for non-linear address" warning because that
&contig_page_data is not a linear address on arm64.

Warning message:

  virt_to_phys used for non-linear address: (contig_page_data+0x0/0x1c00)

To fix it, create a small function to handle both translation.

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.
