add_memory() and remove_memory() can only handle a memory range aligned with section. There are problems when an unaligned range is added and then deleted as follows: - add_memory() with an unaligned range succeeds, but __add_pages() called from add_memory() adds a whole section of pages even though a given memory range is less than the section size. - remove_memory() to the added unaligned range hits BUG_ON() in __remove_pages(). This patch changes add_memory() and remove_memory() to check if a given memory range is aligned with section at the beginning. As the result, add_memory() fails with -EINVAL when a given range is unaligned, and does not add such memory range. This prevents remove_memory() to be called with an unaligned range as well. Note that remove_memory() has to use BUG_ON() since this function cannot fail.
