mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblock_add_node() failures in add_memory_resource()
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v2. Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64, don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most prominently, kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such driver-managed memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example, having kexec images located on memory not part of the firmware-provided memory map. Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is especially relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit 7b7b2721 ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()"). Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code when applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on arm64, making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64. This patch (of 2): If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory. While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of silently ignoring the error.
