[PATCH v3 6/7] dax/kmem: Always enroll hotplugged memory for memmap_on_memory

From: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma at intel.com>

With DAX memory regions originating from CXL memory expanders or
NVDIMMs, the kmem driver may be hot-adding huge amounts of system memory
on a system without enough 'regular' main memory to support the memmap
for it. To avoid this, ensure that all kmem managed hotplugged memory is
added with the MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag to place the memmap on the
new memory region being hot added.

To do this, call add_memory() in chunks of memory_block_size_bytes() as
that is a requirement for memmap_on_memory.
