[PATCH v2 12/15] mm/sparse: drop set_section_nid() from sparse_add_section()

[David Hildenbrand (Arm)]

CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP-only. And
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP implies that NODE_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS cannot be set:
see include/linux/page-flags-layout.h

	...
	#elif defined(CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP)
	#error "Vmemmap: No space for nodes field in page flags"
	...

Which implies that the node is always stored in page flags and
NODE_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS cannot be set. Therefore,
set_section_nid() is a NOP on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

So let's remove the set_section_nid() call to prepare for moving
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG to mm/sparse-vmemmap.c
