mm/memory_hotplug: enforce block size aligned range check

Patch series "optimize memory hotplug", v3.

This patchset:

 - Improves hotplug performance by eliminating a number of struct page
   traverses during memory hotplug.

 - Fixes some issues with hotplugging, where boundaries were not
   properly checked. And on x86 block size was not properly aligned with
   end of memory

 - Also, potentially improves boot performance by eliminating condition
   from __init_single_page().

 - Adds robustness by verifying that that struct pages are correctly
   poisoned when flags are accessed.

The following experiments were performed on Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 v3 @
2.60GHz with 1T RAM:

booting in qemu with 960G of memory, time to initialize struct pages:

no-kvm:
	TRY1		TRY2
BEFORE:	39.433668	39.39705
AFTER:	36.903781	36.989329

with-kvm:
BEFORE:	10.977447	11.103164
AFTER:	10.929072	10.751885

Hotplug 896G memory:
no-kvm:
	TRY1		TRY2
BEFORE: 848.740000	846.910000
AFTER:  783.070000	786.560000

with-kvm:
	TRY1		TRY2
BEFORE: 34.410000	33.57
AFTER:	29.810000	29.580000

This patch (of 6):

Start qemu with the following arguments:

  -m 64G,slots=2,maxmem=66G -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=2G

Which: boots machine with 64G, and adds a device mem1 with 2G which can
be hotplugged later.

Also make sure that config has the following turned on:
  CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
  CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE
  CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY

Using the qemu monitor hotplug the memory (make sure config has (qemu)
device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1

The operation will fail with the following trace:

    ---[ end trace 6203bc4f1a5d30e8 ]---

The problem is detected in: drivers/base/memory.c

   static bool pages_correctly_reserved(unsigned long start_pfn)
   205                 if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!pfn_valid(pfn)))

This function loops through every section in the newly added memory
block and verifies that the first pfn is valid, meaning section exists,
has mapping (struct page array), and is online.

The block size on x86 is usually 128M, but when machine is booted with
more than 64G of memory, the block size is changed to 2G: $ cat
/sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes 80000000

or

   $ dmesg | grep "block size"
   [    0.086469] x86/mm: Memory block size: 2048MB

During memory hotplug, and hotremove we verify that the range is section
size aligned, but we actually must verify that it is block size aligned,
because that is the proper unit for hotplug operations.  See:
Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt

So, when the start_pfn of newly added memory is not block size aligned,
we can get a memory block that has only part of it with properly
populated sections.

In our case the start_pfn starts from the last_pfn (end of physical
memory).

   $ dmesg | grep last_pfn
   [    0.000000] e820: last_pfn = 0x1040000 max_arch_pfn = 0x400000000

0x1040000 == 65G, and so is not 2G aligned!

The fix is to enforce that memory that is hotplugged and hotremoved is
block size aligned.

With this fix, running the above sequence yield to the following result:

   (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
   Block size [0x80000000] unaligned hotplug range: start 0x1040000000,
   							size 0x80000000
   acpi PNP0C80:00: add_memory failed
   acpi PNP0C80:00: acpi_memory_enable_device() error
   acpi PNP0C80:00: Enumeration failure
