Subject: [PATCH 2/2] memory_hotplug: introduce memhp_default_state= command line parameter

CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE specifies the default value for the
memory hotplug onlining policy. Add a command line parameter to make it
possible to override the default. It may come handy for debug and testing
purposes.
