Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mm/hotplug: Reorder arch_remove_memory() call in __remove_memory()

Memory hot remove uses get_nid_for_pfn() while tearing down linked sysfs
entries between memory block and node. It first checks pfn validity with
pfn_valid_within() before fetching nid. With CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE config
(arm64 has this enabled) pfn_valid_within() calls pfn_valid().

pfn_valid() is an arch implementation on arm64 (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID)
which scans all mapped memblock regions with memblock_is_map_memory(). This
creates a problem in memory hot remove path which has already removed given
memory range from memory block with memblock_[remove|free] before arriving
at unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes(). Hence get_nid_for_pfn() returns -1
skipping subsequent sysfs_remove_link() calls leaving node <-> memory block
sysfs entries as is. Subsequent memory add operation hits BUG_ON() because
of existing sysfs entries.

Re-ordering arch_remove_memory() with memblock_[free|remove] solves the
problem on arm64 as pfn_valid() behaves correctly and returns positive
as memblock for the address range still exists. arch_remove_memory()
removes applicable memory sections from zone with __remove_pages() and
tears down kernel linear mapping. Removing memblock regions afterwards
is consistent.
