memory-hotplug: check whether all memory blocks are offlined or not when removing memory
We remove the memory like this: 1. lock memory hotplug 2. offline a memory block 3. unlock memory hotplug 4. repeat 1-3 to offline all memory blocks 5. lock memory hotplug 6. remove memory(TODO) 7. unlock memory hotplug All memory blocks must be offlined before removing memory. But we don't hold the lock in the whole operation. So we should check whether all memory blocks are offlined before step6. Otherwise, kernel maybe panicked. Offlining a memory block and removing a memory device can be two different operations. Users can just offline some memory blocks without removing the memory device. For this purpose, the kernel has held lock_memory_hotplug() in __offline_pages(). To reuse the code for memory hot-remove, we repeat step 1-3 to offline all the memory blocks, repeatedly lock and unlock memory hotplug, but not hold the memory hotplug lock in the whole operation.
