virtio-mem: keep retrying on offline_and_remove_memory() errors in Sub Block Mode (SBM)
In case offline_and_remove_memory() fails in SBM, we leave a completely unplugged Linux memory block stick around until we try plugging memory again. We won't try removing that memory block again. offline_and_remove_memory() may, for example, fail if we're racing with another alloc_contig_range() user, if allocating temporary memory fails, or if some memory notifier rejected the offlining request. Let's handle that case better, by simple retrying to offline and remove such memory. Tested using CONFIG_MEMORY_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECT.
