[RESEND PATCH v3] 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.

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

Change since v1:
Try to allocate pgdat (do not use global variables)

Change since v2:
Go back to original implementation
