Subject: [PATCH V8] mm: memory hot-add: hot-added memory can not be added to movable zone by default

After the user config CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE,
When the memory is hot added, should_add_memory_movable() return 0
because all zones including ZONE_MOVABLE are empty,
so the memory that was hot added will be assigned to ZONE_NORMAL,
and we need using the udev rules to online the memory automatically:
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline",
ATTR{state}="online_movable"
The memory block onlined by udev must be adjacent to ZONE_MOVABLE.
The events of memory section are notified to udev asynchronously,
so it can not ensure that the memory block onlined by udev is
adjacent to ZONE_MOVABLE.So it can't ensure memory online always success.
But we want the whole node to be added to ZONE_MOVABLE by default.

So we change should_add_memory_movable(): if the user config
CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE and movable_node kernel option
and the ZONE_NORMAL is empty or the pfn of the hot-added memory
is after the end of the ZONE_NORMAL it will always return 1
and then the whole node will be added to ZONE_MOVABLE by default.
If we want the node to be assigned to ZONE_NORMAL,
we can do it as follows:
"echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state"
