mm/memory_hotplug: prevalidate the address range being added with platform

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Pre-validate the address range with platform", v5.

This series adds a mechanism allowing platforms to weigh in and
prevalidate incoming address range before proceeding further with the
memory hotplug.  This helps prevent potential platform errors for the
given address range, down the hotplug call chain, which inevitably fails
the hotplug itself.

This mechanism was suggested by David Hildenbrand during another
discussion with respect to a memory hotplug fix on arm64 platform.

This mechanism focuses on the addressibility aspect and not [sub] section
alignment aspect.  Hence check_hotplug_memory_range() and check_pfn_span()
have been left unchanged.

This patch (of 4):

This introduces mhp_range_allowed() which can be called in various memory
hotplug paths to prevalidate the address range which is being added, with
the platform.  Then mhp_range_allowed() calls mhp_get_pluggable_range()
which provides applicable address range depending on whether linear
mapping is required or not.  For ranges that require linear mapping, it
calls a new arch callback arch_get_mappable_range() which the platform can
override.  So the new callback, in turn provides the platform an
opportunity to configure acceptable memory hotplug address ranges in case
there are constraints.

This mechanism will help prevent platform specific errors deep down during
hotplug calls.  This drops now redundant
check_hotplug_memory_addressable() check in __add_pages() but instead adds
a VM_BUG_ON() check which would ensure that the range has been validated
with mhp_range_allowed() earlier in the call chain.  Besides
mhp_get_pluggable_range() also can be used by potential memory hotplug
callers to avail the allowed physical range which would go through on a
given platform.

This does not really add any new range check in generic memory hotplug but
instead compensates for lost checks in arch_add_memory() where applicable
and check_hotplug_memory_addressable(), with unified mhp_range_allowed().

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: make pagemap_range() return -EINVAL when mhp_range_allowed() fails]
