Subject: memory-hotplug: document and enable CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE
Add help info for CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE and permit its selection.
This option allows the user to online all memory of a node as movable
memory. So that the whole node can be hotplugged. Users who don't use
the hotplug feature are also fine with this option on since they won't
online memory as movable.

+ Allow a node to have only movable memory. Pages used by the kernel,
+ such as direct mapping pages cannot be migrated. So the corresponding
+ memory device cannot be hotplugged. This option allows users to
+ online all the memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole
+ node can be hotplugged. Users who don't use the memory hotplug
+ feature are fine with this option on since they don't online memory
+ as movable.

+ Say Y here if you want to hotplug a whole node.
+ Say N here if you want kernel to use memory on all nodes evenly.
# eventually, we can have this option just 'select SPARSEMEM'
