Function name suggests that you are actually trying to offline memory
here. Maybe check_memblocks_offline_cb(), just like we have in
mm/memory_hotplug.c.

Can't it happen that there is a race between you checking if memory is
offline and an admin onlining memory again? maybe pull the
remove_memory() into the locked region, using __remove_memory() instead.
