mm/memory_hotplug.c: call register_mem_sect_under_node()

When hotplugging memory, it is possible that two calls are being made to
register_mem_sect_under_node().

One comes from __add_section()->hotplug_memory_register() and the other
from add_memory_resource()->link_mem_sections() if we had to register a
new node.

In case we had to register a new node, hotplug_memory_register() will
only handle/allocate the memory_block's since
register_mem_sect_under_node() will return right away because the node
it is not online yet.

I think it is better if we leave hotplug_memory_register() to
handle/allocate only memory_block's and make link_mem_sections() to call
register_mem_sect_under_node().

So this patch removes the call to register_mem_sect_under_node() from
hotplug_memory_register(), and moves the call to link_mem_sections() out
of the condition, so it will always be called.  In this way we only have
one place where the memory sections are registered.
