Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblock_add_node() failures in add_memory_resource()

If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory.
While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added
without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use
memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of
silently ignoring the error.
