Subject: [PATCH v1 09/29] virtio-mem: don't always trigger the workqueue when offlining memory

Let's trigger from offlining code when we're not allowed to touch online
memory.

Handle the other case (memmap possibly freeing up another memory block)
when actually removing memory. When removing via virtio_mem_remove(),
virtio_mem_retry() is a NOP and safe to use.

While at it, move retry handling when offlining out of
virtio_mem_notify_offline(), to share it with Device Block Mode (DBM)
soon.
