Subject: [PATCH V2 0/2] arm64/mm: Enable memory hot remove

This series enables memory hot remove on arm64 after fixing a memblock
removal ordering problem in generic __remove_memory(). This is based
on the following arm64 working tree.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git for-next/core

Testing:

Tested hot remove on arm64 for all 4K, 16K, 64K page config options with
all possible VA_BITS and PGTABLE_LEVELS combinations. Build tested on non
arm64 platforms.

Changes in V2:

- Added all received review and ack tags
- Split the series from ZONE_DEVICE enablement for better review

- Moved memblock re-order patch to the front as per Robin Murphy
- Updated commit message on memblock re-order patch per Michal Hocko

- Dropped [pmd|pud]_large() definitions
- Used existing [pmd|pud]_sect() instead of earlier [pmd|pud]_large()
- Removed __meminit and __ref tags as per Oscar Salvador
- Dropped unnecessary 'ret' init in arch_add_memory() per Robin Murphy
- Skipped calling into pgtable_page_dtor() for linear mapping page table
  pages and updated all relevant functions
