Subject: [PATCH -v2] mm, memory_hotplug: support movable_node for hotplugable
 nodes

OK, so here is v2 which fixes 2 typos in the changelog spotted by Wei
Yang and Acked-by from Vlastimil added. No functional changes added.

Subject: [PATCH] mm, memory_hotplug: support movable_node for hotplugable
 nodes

movable_node kernel parameter allows to make hotplugable NUMA
nodes to put all the hotplugable memory into movable zone which
allows more or less reliable memory hotremove.  At least this
is the case for the NUMA nodes present during the boot (see
find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes).

This is not the case for the memory hotplug, though.

	echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXYZ/state

will default to a kernel zone (usually ZONE_NORMAL) unless the
particular memblock is already in the movable zone range which is not
the case normally when onlining the memory from the udev rule context
for a freshly hotadded NUMA node. The only option currently is to have a
special udev rule to echo online_movable to all memblocks belonging to
such a node which is rather clumsy. Not to mention this is inconsistent
as well because what ended up in the movable zone during the boot will
end up in a kernel zone after hotremove & hotadd without special care.

It would be nice to reuse memblock_is_hotpluggable but the runtime
hotplug doesn't have that information available because the boot and
hotplug paths are not shared and it would be really non trivial to
make them use the same code path because the runtime hotplug doesn't
play with the memblock allocator at all.

Teach move_pfn_range that MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP can use the movable zone if
movable_node is enabled and the range doesn't overlap with the existing
normal zone. This should provide a reasonable default onlining strategy.

Strictly speaking the semantic is not identical with the boot time
initialization because find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes covers only the
hotplugable range as described by the BIOS/FW. From my experience this
is usually a full node though (except for Node0 which is special and
never goes away completely). If this turns out to be a problem in the
real life we can tweak the code to store hotplug flag into memblocks
but let's keep this simple now.

Changes since v1
- fixed to typose on the changelog as per Wei Yang
