Some cleanups+optimizations primarily around offline_and_remove_memory().
Patch #1 drops the "unsafe unplug" feature where we might get stuck in
offline_and_remove_memory() forever.
Patch #2 handles unexpected errors from offline_and_remove_memory() a bit
nicer.
Patch #3 handles the case where offline_and_remove_memory() failed and
we want to retry later to remove a completely unplugged Linux memory
block, to not have them waste memory forever.
Patch #4 something I had lying around for longer, which reacts faster
on config changes when unplugging memory.
