Let's move this change to the patch that needs it, this patch does not
do anything on its own.

I thought we discussed that this needed to be range based here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAPcyv4jhUU3NVD8HLZnJzir+SugB6LnnrgJZ-jP45BZrbJ1dJQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

...but also incorporate Christoph's feedback to not use notifiers.

Change this callback to

int (*notify_memory_failure)(struct dev_pagemap *pgmap, unsigned long
pfn, unsigned long nr_pfns)

...to pass a range and to clarify that this callback is for
memory_failure() to notify the pgmap, the pgmap notifies the owner via
the holder callbacks.
