When free pages are done with higher order, time spend on

section size of 256MB, hot add latency of a single section

improving the hot add latency by 60%. Modify external
providers of online callback to align with the change.
Hi Arun, out of curiosity:
could you please explain how exactly did you mesure the speed
improvement?
diff --git a/mm/memory_hotplug.c b/mm/memory_hotplug.c
