Jonathan reported a problem [1] where we can access steal pages in case we hot-remove memory without onlining it first. This time is in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes. This function tries to get the nid from the pfn and then tries to remove the symlink between mem_blk <-> nid and vice versa. Since we already know the nid in remove_memory(), we can pass it down the chain to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes. There we can just remove the symlinks without the need to look into the pages. This also allows us to cleanup unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes.
