mm/memory_hotplug: simplify and fix check_hotplug_memory_range()

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out memory block devicehandling", v3.

We only want memory block devices for memory to be onlined/offlined
(add/remove from the buddy).  This is required so user space can
online/offline memory and kdump gets notified about newly onlined
memory.

Let's factor out creation/removal of memory block devices.  This helps
to further cleanup arch_add_memory/arch_remove_memory() and to make
implementation of new features easier - especially sub-section memory
hot add from Dan.

Anshuman Khandual is currently working on arch_remove_memory().  I added
a temporary solution via "arm64/mm: Add temporary arch_remove_memory()
implementation", that is sufficient as a firsts tep in the context of
this series.  (we don't cleanup page tables in case anything goes wrong
already)

Did a quick sanity test with DIMM plug/unplug, making sure all devices
and sysfs links properly get added/removed.  Compile tested on s390x and
x86-64.

This patch (of 11):

By converting start and size to page granularity, we actually ignore
unaligned parts within a page instead of properly bailing out with an
error.
