Subject: [PATCH v3 10/11] mm/memory_hotplug: Make unregister_memory_block_under_nodes() never fail

We really don't want anything during memory hotunplug to fail.
We always pass a valid memory block device, that check can go. Avoid
allocating memory and eventually failing. As we are always called under
lock, we can use a static piece of memory. This avoids having to put
the structure onto the stack, having to guess about the stack size
of callers.

Patch inspired by a patch from Oscar Salvador.

In the future, there might be no need to iterate over nodes at all.
mem->nid should tell us exactly what to remove. Memory block devices
with mixed nodes (added during boot) should properly fenced off and never
removed.
