Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] mm/memory_hotplug: add 'online_type' argument to add_memory_driver_managed

Enable external callers to select how to online the memory rather than
implicitly depending on the system defauilt.

Refactor: Extract __add_memory_resource to take an explicit online type,
and update add_memory_resource to pass the system default.

Export mhp_get_default_online_type() and update existing callers of
add_memory_driver_managed to use it explicitly to make it clear what the
behavior of the function is.

dax_kmem and virtio_mem drivers were updated.
