Too late, the original patch was merged. So I generated the delta.
I remain allergic to the `i' identifier so I renamed it to `section'.
That's not 100% accurate, but it is better.

Thanks.

Subject: arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c: section removal
cleanups
Followups to d760afd4d25 ("memory-hotplug: suppress "Trying to free
nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning").
- use unsigned long type, as overflows are conceivable
- rename `i' to the less-misleading and more informative `section'
