[PATCH v1 1/3] Add basic infrastructure for memcg hotplug support

[Balbir Singh]

The lack of hotplug support makes us allocate all memory
upfront for per node data structures. With large number
of cgroups this can be an overhead. PPC64 actually limits
n_possible nodes to n_online to avoid some of this overhead.

This patch adds the basic notifiers to listen to hotplug
events and does the allocation and free of those structures
per cgroup. We walk every cgroup per event, its a trade-off
of allocating upfront vs allocating on demand and freeing
on offline.
