Subject[Patch] mm/sparse.c: Improve the error handling for sparse_add_one_section()

Improve the error handling for mm/sparse.c::sparse_add_one_section().
And I see no reason to check 'usemap' until holding the
'pgdat_resize_lock'. If someone knows, please let me know.

Note! This patch is _not_ tested yet, since it seems that I can't
configure sparse memory for i386 box. Sorry for this. ;(
I hope someone can help me to test it.
