David Hildenbrand ef1b51f773 powerpc/pseries/hotplug-memory: stop checking is_mem_section_removable() 
In commit 53cdc1cb29 ("drivers/base/memory.c: indicate all memory blocks
as removable"), the user space interface to compute whether a memory block
can be offlined (exposed via /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable)
has effectively been deprecated.  We want to remove the leftovers of the
kernel implementation.

When offlining a memory block (mm/memory_hotplug.c:__offline_pages()),
we'll start by:
 1. Testing if it contains any holes, and reject if so
 2. Testing if pages belong to different zones, and reject if so
 3. Isolating the page range, checking if it contains any unmovable pages

Using is_mem_section_removable() before trying to offline is not only
racy, it can easily result in false positives/negatives.  Let's stop
manually checking is_mem_section_removable(), and let device_offline()
handle it completely instead.  We can remove the racy
is_mem_section_removable() implementation next.

We now take more locks (e.g., memory hotplug lock when offlining and the
zone lock when isolating), but maybe we should optimize that
implementation instead if this ever becomes a real problem (after all,
memory unplug is already an expensive operation).  We started using
is_mem_section_removable() in commit 51925fb3c5 ("powerpc/pseries:
Implement memory hotplug remove in the kernel"), with the initial
hotremove support of lmbs.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
