4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Baoquan He <[email protected]> commit d09cfbbfa0f761a97687828b5afb27b56cbf2e19 upstream. In commit 83e3c48729d9 ("mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y") mem_section is allocated at runtime to save memory. It allocates the first dimension of array with sizeof(struct mem_section). It costs extra memory, should be sizeof(struct mem_section *). Fix it.
