Subject: mm/sparse.c: wrong allocation for mem_section

In 83e3c48729 ("mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y") mem_section is allocated at runtime to save memory. While it allocates
the first dimension of array with sizeof(struct mem_section). It costs
extra memory, should be sizeof(struct mem_section*).

Fix it.
