Wei Yang 83af658898 mm, sparse: drop pgdat_resize_lock in sparse_add/remove_one_section()
pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect pgdat's memory region information
like: node_start_pfn, node_present_pages, etc.  While in function
sparse_add/remove_one_section(), pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect
initialization/release of one mem_section.  This looks not proper.

These code paths are currently protected by mem_hotplug_lock currently but
should there ever be any reason for locking at the sparse layer a
dedicated lock should be introduced.

Following is the current call trace of sparse_add/remove_one_section()

    mem_hotplug_begin()
    arch_add_memory()
       add_pages()
           __add_pages()
               __add_section()
                   sparse_add_one_section()
    mem_hotplug_done()

    mem_hotplug_begin()
    arch_remove_memory()
        __remove_pages()
            __remove_section()
                sparse_remove_one_section()
    mem_hotplug_done()

The comment above the pgdat_resize_lock also mentions "Holding this will
also guarantee that any pfn_valid() stays that way.", which is true with
the current implementation and false after this patch.  But current
implementation doesn't meet this comment.  There isn't any pfn walkers to
take the lock so this looks like a relict from the past.  This patch also
removes this comment.
