In !SPARSEMEM_EX case, the symbol mem_section points a array of struct 
mem_section,
doesn't point a array of pointer to mem_section[], so I think the check:

        if (!is_kvaddr(mem_sec[SECTION_NR_TO_ROOT(nr)]))
                return NOT_KV_ADDR;

in nr_to_section() is not a valid check in this case.

To make the matters worse, if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR is enabled, the end of
struct mem_section is padded with 0.

So, reading mem_section by "rd" of crash will look like:

        crash> rd mem_section 128
        c08b71e0:  c9002003 c9001200 f7000000 00000000   . ..............
        c08b71f0:  c9002003 c9001260 f6980000 00000000   . ..`...........
        c08b7200:  c9002003 c90012c0 f6300000 00000000   . ........0.....
        c08b7210:  c9002003 c9001320 f5c80000 00000000   . .. ...........
        ...

This means nr_to_section() will return 0 when "nr" is 3,7,11,... because it 
meets
the condition(mem_sec[SECTION_NR_TO_ROOT(nr)] == mem_sec[nr] == 0 == 
!is_kvaddr).

As a result, mem_map for section 3,7,11,... cannot be handled properly.

This patch is a fix for this problem. nr_to_section() will check "addr" by
is_kvaddr() later anyway, so this patch just removes the problematic check.
