Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mm,page_alloc: Use {get,put}_online_mems() to get stable zone's values

Currently, page_outside_zone_boundaries() takes zone's span_seqlock
when reading zone_start_pfn and spanned_pages so those values are
stable vs memory hotplug operations.
move_pfn_range_to_zone() and remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), which are
the functions that can change zone's values are serialized by
mem_hotplug_lock by mem_hotplug_{begin,done}, so we can just use
{get,put}_online_mems() on the readers.

This will allow us to completely kill span_seqlock lock as no users
will remain after this series.
