mm, memory-hotplug: dynamic configure movable memory and portion memory

Browse source 
Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug.  This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore".  It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:

o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.

  Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
  "online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
  THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.

  Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
  to save/(reduce waste) memory.

  Memory capacity on Demand

o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
  "online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
  expected when we logic-online it.

  This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.

o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".

o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
  hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
  management).

(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)

Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.

When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.

Current constraints:
Only the memoryblock which is adjacent to the ZONE_MOVABLE
can be online from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE.

% echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
This onlining will not change the ZONE type of the target memory section,
If the memory section is in ZONE_NORMAL, you can change it to ZONE_MOVABLE:
% echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
(NOTE: current limit: this memory section must be adjacent to ZONE_MOVABLE)
And if the memory section is in ZONE_MOVABLE, you can change it to ZONE_NORMAL:
% echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state
(NOTE: current limit: this memory section must be adjacent to ZONE_NORMAL)
After this, section memoryXXX's state will be 'online' and the amount of
available memory will be increased.
