I also thought about it once. But a problem remains. Current offilne_pages()
cannot realize the memory has been removed by remove_memory(). So even if
protecting the race by lock_memory_hotplug(), offline_pages() can offline
the removed memory. offline_pages() should have the means to know the memory
was removed. But I don't have good idea.
