I think that phys_device variable in remove_memory_section() is also a relict
from the past, and it is no longer used.
Neither node_id variable is used.
Actually, unregister_memory_section() sets those two to 0 no matter what.

Since we are cleaning up, I wonder if we can go a bit further and we can get
rid of that as well.
