This change primarily addresses 1) from your feedback. The
modification to the memory hotplug callback was necessary to adapt
to the new `struct iw_node_group`.

Given that this adjustment is part of integrating the refactored
structure, I believe this patch does not need to be split into two.
However, I would appreciate any further input you may have on this.

Regarding your naming suggestion, I agree that `sysfs_wi_group` is
more descriptive and aligns well with its role in managing the
weighted_interleave sysfs entry. I will update the patch accordingly.
