... and while we're at it, we should rename register_mem_sect_under_node
to something like "register_memory_block_under_node" - "section" is a
legacy leftover here.
We could factor out both sysfs_create_link_nowarn() calls into something
like "do_register_memory_block_under_node" or similar, to minimize code
duplication.

I don't particularly like passing around function pointers where it can
be avoided (e.g., here exporting 3 functions now instead 1). Makes the
interface harder to get IMHO. But I don't really care about that
interface, easy to change later on.
