If system supports memory hot-remove, online_pages() may online removed pages.
So online_pages() need to check whether onlining pages are present or not.

Because we use memory_block_change_state() to hotremoving memory, I think
this patch can be removed. What do you think?

Pleae teach me detals a little more. If we use memory_block_change_state(),
does the conflict never occur? Why?

Thansk,
