Hi Kamezawa-san,

Thanks for the reviewing.

I don't think this would be a bug. It is OK to lock the whole
sparse_remove_one_section() if no tlb flushing in free_section_usemap().

But we need to flush tlb in free_section_usemap(), so we need to take
free_section_usemap() out of the lock. :)

I add the call trace to the patch so that people could review it more
easily.

And here is the call trace for this version:
