[PATCH RFC v1 3/3] powerpc/memtrace: Don't offline memory blocks via offline_pages()

offline_pages() should not be called outside of the MM core. Especially,
having to manually fiddle with the memory block states is a sign that
this is not a good idea. To offline memory block devices cleanly,
device_offline() should be used. This is the only remaining caller of
offline_pages(), except the official device_offline() way.
E.g., when trying to allocate right now we trigger messages like
[ 11.227817] page:c00c000000182000 refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0
[ 11.228056] raw: 007ffff000000000 c000000001538860 c000000001538860 0000000000000000
[ 11.228070] raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 00000001ffffffff 0000000000000000
[ 11.228097] page dumped because: unmovable page
and theoretically we might end up looping quite a long time trying to
offline memory, which would have to be canceled by the user manually
(CTRL-C).
Memtrace needs to identify+allocate multiple consecutive memory blocks.
It also has to remove the memory blocks to remove all page tables
(HW requirement).
Let's use alloc_contig_pages() to allocate memory that spans multiple
memory block devices. We can then set all pages PageOffline() to allow
these pages to get isolated. A temporary memory notifier can then make
offlining of these pages succeed by dropping its reference to the pages
on MEM_GOING_OFFLINE events(as documented in include/linux/page-flags.h
for PageOffline() pages). Error handling is a bit tricky.
Note1: ZONE_MOVABLE memory blocks won't be considered. Not sure if that
was ever really relevant. (unmovable data would end up on these memory
blocks for a tiny little time frame)
Note2: We don't have to care about online_page_callback_t, as we forbid
re-onlining from our memory notifier.
Note3: I was told this feature is never used along with DIMM-based memory
hotunplug - otherwise bad things will happen when a DIMM would try to
remove "alread-removed" memory (that is still in use).
Tested under QEMU with powernv emulation (kernel + initramfs).
$ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
$ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes
10000000
$ echo 0x20000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable
[ 19.809790] Offlined Pages 4096
[ 19.835842] Offlined Pages 4096
[ 19.853136] memtrace: Allocated trace memory on node 0 at 0x0000000040000000
Unfortunately, QEMU does not support NUMA for powernv yet, so I cannot
test that.

Enabling this option allows for the removal of memory (RAM)
from the kernel mappings to be used for hardware tracing.
