Subject: [PATCH V2] mm/memory_hotplug: Drop 'reason' argument from check_pfn_span()

In check_pfn_span(), a 'reason' string is being used to recreate the caller
function name, while printing the warning message. It is really unnecessary
as the warning message could just be printed inside the caller depending on
the return code. Currently there are just two callers for check_pfn_span()
i.e  __add_pages() and __remove_pages(). Let's clean this up.
