When using self-hosted vmemmap pages, the number of pages passed to
{online,offline}_pages might not fully span sections, but they always
fully span pageblocks.
Relax the check account for that case.

It would be good to call those out explicitly.  It would be also
great to explain why pageblock_nr_pages is an actual constrain. There
shouldn't be any real reason for that except for "we want online_pages
to operate on whole memblocks and memmap_on_memory will poke
pageblock_nr_pages aligned holes in the beginning which is a special
case we want to allow."

I would rephrase (and also note that multi line comment usually have a
leading line without any content - not that I care much though).

	/*
	 * {on,off}lining is constrained to full memory sections (or
	 * more precisly to memory blocks from the user space POV).
	 * memmap_on_memory is an exception because it reserves initial
	 * part of the physical memory space for vmemmaps. That space is
	 * pageblock aligned.
> +	 */

Same comment would apply to oofline_pages.
