Improve the error handling for mm/sparse.c::sparse_add_one_section(). And I see no reason to check 'usemap' until holding the 'pgdat_resize_lock'. If someone knows, please let me know.
Note! This patch is _not_ tested yet, since it seems that I can't configure sparse memory for i386 box. Sorry for this. ;( I hope someone can help me to test it.
