This series fixes the access of uninitialized memmaps when shrinking
zones/nodes and when removing memory.
We stop trying to shrink ZONE_DEVICE, as it's buggy, fixing it would be
more involved (we don't have SECTION_IS_ONLINE as an indicator), and
shrinking is only of limited use (set_zone_contiguous() cannot detect
the ZONE_DEVICE as contiguous). As far as I can tell, this should be fine
for ZONE_DEVICE.
We continue shrinking zones, but I reduced the amount of code to a
minimum. Shrinking is especially necessary to keep zone->contiguous set
where possible, especially on memory unplug of DIMMs at zone boundaries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zones are now properly shrunk when offlining memory blocks or when
onlining failed. This allows to properly shrink zones on memory unplug
even if the separate memory blocks of a DIMM were onlined to different
zones or re-onlined to a different zone after offlining.
Example:
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable
spanned 0
present 0
managed 0
:/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/state
:/# echo "online_movable" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/state
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable
spanned 98304
present 65536
managed 65536
:/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory43/online
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable
spanned 32768
present 32768
managed 32768
:/# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory41/online
:/# cat /proc/zoneinfo
Node 1, zone Movable
spanned 0
present 0
managed 0

I tested this with DIMMs on x86, but didn't test the ZONE_DEVICE part yet.
v3 -> v4:
- Drop "mm/memremap: Get rid of memmap_init_zone_device()"
-- As Alexander noticed, it was messy either way :)
- Drop "mm/memory_hotplug: Exit early in __remove_pages() on BUGs"
- Drop "mm: Exit early in set_zone_contiguous() if already contiguous"
- Drop "mm/memory_hotplug: Optimize zone shrinking code when checking for
holes"
- Merged "mm/memory_hotplug: Remove pages from a zone before removing
memory" and "mm/memory_hotplug: Remove zone parameter from
__remove_pages()" into "mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones when offlining
memory"
- Added "mm/memory_hotplug: Poison memmap in remove_pfn_range_from_zone()"
- Stop shrinking ZONE_DEVICE
- Reshuffle patches, moving all fixes to the front. Add Fixes: tags.
- Change subject/description of various patches
- Minor changes (too many to mention)
