The hmat_init() will call this directly before registering the memory
notifier callback, so those two paths should be 'ok'.

I may have assumed memory notification callbacks were single threaded,
but after taking a quick look, I think I do need additional locking for
this to be safe. I'll get that fixed up, thanks for the catch.
