mm/memory_hotplug: enforce section granularity when onlining/offlining

Already two people (including me) tried to offline subsections, because
the function looks like it can deal with it.  But we really can only
online/offline full sections that are properly aligned (e.g., we can only
mark full sections online/offline via SECTION_IS_ONLINE).

Add a simple safety net to document the restriction now.  Current users
(core and powernv/memtrace) respect these restrictions.
