[PATCH 30/49] mm/sparse-vmemmap: remove unused SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT feature

Since the bootmem vmemmap optimization has been reimplemented to use
the new early compound vmemmap infrastructure, the old
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT feature and its related code (e.g.,
sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early(), preinited_vmemmap_section()) are no
longer used.

Remove them to clean up the code.
