Prepare for hot{plug,remove} of sub-ranges of a section by tracking a

The implications of a partially populated section is that pfn_valid()
needs to go beyond a valid_section() check and read the sub-section
active ranges from the bitmask. The expectation is that the bitmask
(subsection_map) fits in the same cacheline as the valid_section()
data,
so the incremental performance overhead to pfn_valid() should be
negligible.

Now that the handling is done in pfn/nr_pages, it looks better to me:
