mm/memory_hotplug: Introduce offline_and_remove_memory()
virtio-mem wants to offline and remove a memory block once it unplugged all subblocks (e.g., using alloc_contig_range()). Let's provide an interface to do that from a driver. virtio-mem already supports to offline partially unplugged memory blocks. Offlining a fully unplugged memory block will not require to migrate any pages. All unplugged subblocks are PageOffline() and have a reference count of 0 - so offlining code will simply skip them. All we need is an interface to offline and remove the memory from kernel module context, where we don't have access to the memory block devices (esp. find_memory_block() and device_offline()) and the device hotplug lock. To keep things simple, allow to only work on a single memory block.
