Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] mm/memory_hotplug: Add memory block altmap sysfs attribute

Currently memmap_on_memory sysfs attribute can determine if the altmap
is supported in the entire system.

However, with CONFIG_RUNTIME_MEMORY_CONFIGURATION, user can dynamically
add or remove individual memory blocks with/without altmap support.
Hence, it is more beneficial to the user, if the altmap support can also
be represented per memory block.

lsmem output could look like the following:
RANGE                                 SIZE        STATE BLOCK   ALTMAP
0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff   2G       online   0-7   0
0x0000000080000000-0x00000001ffffffff   6G       online  8-31   0
0x0000000200000000-0x00000002ffffffff   4G 	 offline 32-47  1
