mm/hotplug: make remove_memory() interface usable
[ Upstream commit eca499ab3749a4537dee77ffead47a1a2c0dee19 ] Presently the remove_memory() interface is inherently broken. It tries to remove memory but panics if some memory is not offline. The problem is that it is impossible to ensure that all memory blocks are offline as this function also takes lock_device_hotplug that is required to change memory state via sysfs. So, between calling this function and offlining all memory blocks there is always a window when lock_device_hotplug is released, and therefore, there is always a chance for a panic during this window. Make this interface to return an error if memory removal fails. This way it is safe to call this function without panicking machine, and also makes it symmetric to add_memory() which already returns an error.
