When free pages are done with higher order, time spend on
coalescing pages by buddy allocator can be reduced. With
section size of 256MB, hot add latency of a single section
shows improvement from 50-60 ms to less than 1 ms, hence
improving the hot add latency by 60%. Modify external
providers of online callback to align with the change.

This is now not called anymore, although the xen/hv variants still do
it. The function seems empty these days, maybe remove it as a followup
cleanup?

__online_page_increment_counters() would have used
adjust_managed_page_count() which would do the changes under
managed_page_count_lock. Are we safe without the lock? If yes, there
should perhaps be a comment explaining why.
Looks unsafe without managed_page_count_lock. I think better have a
similar implementation of free_boot_core() in memory_hotplug.c like we
had in version 1 of patch. And use adjust_managed_page_count() instead
of page_zone(page)->managed_pages += nr_pages;
