mm/sparse: remove unnecessary NULL check before allocating mem_section

Commit 850ed20539a4 ("mm: move array mem_section init code out of
memory_present()") moved mem_section allocation logic into
memblocks_present().

Before that move, memory_present() could be called multiple times, so
unlikely() matched the common case, where most calls found mem_section
already allocated.

After that move, memblocks_present() is called exactly once from
sparse_init().  Under CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME, mem_section is always NULL
when it is called.

So remove unnecessary NULL check before allocating mem_section.  No
functional change.
