mm/memory_hotplug: make remove_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock

Patch series "mm: online/offline_pages called w.o. mem_hotplug_lock", v3.

Reading through the code and studying how mem_hotplug_lock is to be used,
I noticed that there are two places where we can end up calling
device_online()/device_offline() - online_pages()/offline_pages() without
the mem_hotplug_lock.  And there are other places where we call
device_online()/device_offline() without the device_hotplug_lock.

While e.g.
	echo "online" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state
is fine, e.g.
	echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/online
Will not take the mem_hotplug_lock. However the device_lock() and
device_hotplug_lock.

E.g.  via memory_probe_store(), we can end up calling
add_memory()->online_pages() without the device_hotplug_lock.  So we can
have concurrent callers in online_pages().  We e.g.  touch in
online_pages() basically unprotected zone->present_pages then.

Looks like there is a longer history to that (see Patch #2 for details),
and fixing it to work the way it was intended is not really possible.  We
would e.g.  have to take the mem_hotplug_lock in device/base/core.c, which
sounds wrong.

Summary: We had a lock inversion on mem_hotplug_lock and device_lock().
More details can be found in patch 3 and patch 6.

I propose the general rules (documentation added in patch 6):

1. add_memory/add_memory_resource() must only be called with
   device_hotplug_lock.
2. remove_memory() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. This is
   already documented and holds for all callers.
3. device_online()/device_offline() must only be called with
   device_hotplug_lock. This is already documented and true for now in core
   code. Other callers (related to memory hotplug) have to be fixed up.
4. mem_hotplug_lock is taken inside of add_memory/remove_memory/
   online_pages/offline_pages.

To me, this looks way cleaner than what we have right now (and easier to
verify).  And looking at the documentation of remove_memory, using
lock_device_hotplug also for add_memory() feels natural.

This patch (of 6):

remove_memory() is exported right now but requires the
device_hotplug_lock, which is not exported.  So let's provide a variant
that takes the lock and only export that one.

The lock is already held in
	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c

Apart from that, there are not other users in the tree.
