It seems you do not understand my concern.
When memory_remove() and offline_pages() run to same memory simultaneously,
offline_pages runs to removed memory.

memory_remove()              | offline_pages()
-----------------------------------------------------------
lock_memory_hotplug()        |
                             | wait at lock_memory_hotplug()
remove memory                |
unlock_memory_hotplug()      |
                             | wake up and start offline_pages()
			     | offline page
			     | => but the memory has already removed
			     |    by memory_remove()

In this case, offline_page() may access removed memory.
