Subject: [PATCH v1 09/10] mm/memory_hotplug: teach offline_pages() to not try forever
It can easily happen that we get stuck forever trying to offline pages -
e.g. on persistent errors.
Let's add a way to change this behavior and fail fast.
This is interesting if offline_pages() is called from a driver and we
just want to find some block to offline.
