From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Even if notifier cannot find any pages, it doesn't mean
no pages are available...And, if there are no notifiers registered,
this condition will be always true and memory hotplug will show -EBUSY.
Clarification:This is a bug but not critical
In most case, a pageblock which will be offlined is MIGRATE_MOVABLE
This "notifier" is called only when the pageblock is _not_ MIGRATE_MOVABLE.
If not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, it's common case that memory hotplug will fail.
So, no one notice this bug.
