When (hot)adding memory into system, /sys/firmware/memmap/X/{end, start, type}
sysfs files are created. But there is no code to remove these files. The patch
implements the function to remove them.

Note : The code does not free firmware_map_entry since there is no way to free
       memory which is allocated by bootmem.

IIRC, this function's implementation is changed. Why do you do it?
If PageCompound(page), should we check page->first_page's flags?

I forgot to write the change to change log. Jiang and Christoph discussed
how to find the slab page:

- https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/6/333

Then, Christoph proposed this method.  So I changed it.
