Commit bdee237c03 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory
x86-64 systems") and 982792c782 ("x86, mm: probe memory block size for
generic x86 64bit") introduced large block sizes for x86. This made it
possible to have multiple sections per memory block where previously,
there was a only every one section per block.
Since blocks consist of contiguous ranges of section, there can be holes
in the blocks where sections are not present. If one attempts to
offline such a block, a crash occurs since the code is not designed to
deal with this.
This patch is a quick fix to gaurd against the crash by not allowing
blocks with non-present sections to be offlined.
