virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotunplug part 2

We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks
and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later.

When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate
subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to
our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory
using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor.

We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will
touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when
onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we
use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either
online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range().

It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can
actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be
fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged.

We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the
ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined
manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is
suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to
make unplug more likely to succeed.

Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched.

As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from
kernel module context, export the symbols.

Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages
are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.
