This seems like an appropriate place for a WARN_ONCE(), if someone
manages to call remove_memory() with hotplug disabled.
BTW, I looked and can't think of a better errno, but -EBUSY probably
isn't the best error code, right?

Could we call this remove_offline_memory()? That way, it makes _some_
sense why we would BUG() if the memory isn't offline.
