Got this while compiling for ARM/SA1100:

mm/sparse.c: In function '__section_nr':
mm/sparse.c:135: warning: 'root' is used uninitialized in this function

This patch follows Russell King's suggestion for a new calculation for
NR_SECTION_ROOTS.  Thanks also to Sergei Shtylyov for pointing out the
existence of the macro DIV_ROUND_UP.

Atsushi Nemoto observed:
: This fix doesn't just silence the warning - it fixes a real problem.
:
: Without this fix, mem_section[] might have 0 size so mem_section[0]
: will share other variable area.  For example, I got:
:
c030c700 b __warned.16478
c030c700 B mem_section
c030c701 b __warned.16483
:
: This might cause very strange behavior.  Your patch actually fixes it.
