Subject: drivers/base/node: rename link_mem_sections() to register_memory_block_under_node()
Patch series "drivers/base/memory: determine and store zone for single-zone memory blocks", v2.
I remember talking to Michal in the past about removing
test_pages_in_a_zone(), which we use for:
* verifying that a memory block we intend to offline is really only managed
by a single zone. We don't support offlining of memory blocks that are
managed by multiple zones (e.g., multiple nodes, DMA and DMA32)
* exposing that zone to user space via
/sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/valid_zones
Now that I identified some more cases where test_pages_in_a_zone() might
go wrong, and we received an UBSAN report (see patch #3), let's get rid of
this PFN walker.
So instead of detecting the zone at runtime with test_pages_in_a_zone() by
scanning the memmap, let's determine and remember for each memory block if
it's managed by a single zone. The stored zone can then be used for the
above two cases, avoiding a manual lookup using test_pages_in_a_zone().
This avoids eventually stumbling over uninitialized memmaps in corner
cases, especially when ZONE_DEVICE ranges partly fall into memory block
(that are responsible for managing System RAM).
Handling memory onlining is easy, because we online to exactly one zone.
Handling boot memory is more tricky, because we want to avoid scanning all
zones of all nodes to detect possible zones that overlap with the physical
memory region of interest. Fortunately, we already have code that
determines the applicable nodes for a memory block, to create sysfs links
-- we'll hook into that.
Patch #1 is a simple cleanup I had laying around for a longer time.
Patch #2 contains the main logic to remove test_pages_in_a_zone() and
further details.

This patch (of 2):
Let's adjust the stale terminology, making it match
unregister_memory_block_under_nodes() and
do_register_memory_block_under_node(). We're dealing with memory block
devices, which span 1..X memory sections.
