There are two ways to set the online/offline state for a memory block:
echo 0|1 > online and echo online|online_kernel|online_movable|offline >
state.

The state attribute can online a memory block with extra data, the
"online type", where the online attribute uses a default online type of
ONLINE_KEEP, same as echo online > state.

Currently there is a state_mutex that provides consistency between the
memory block state and the underlying memory.

The problem is that this code does a lot of things that the common
device layer can do for us, such as the serialization of the
online/offline handlers using the device lock, setting the dev->offline
field, and calling kobject_uevent().

This patch refactors the online/offline code to allow the common
device_[online|offline] functions to be used.  The result is a simpler
and more common code path for the two state setting mechanisms.  It also
removes the state_mutex from the struct memory_block as the memory block
device lock provides the state consistency.

No functional change is intended by this patch.

Right now memory_dev_init() maintains the memory block pointer
between iterations of add_memory_section().  This is nasty.

This patch refactors add_memory_section() to become add_memory_block().
The refactoring pulls the section scanning out of memory_dev_init()
and simplifies the signature.

The path through add_memory_section() when the memory block already
exists uses flawed refcounting logic.  A get_device() is done on a
memory block using a pointer that might not be valid as we dropped
our previous reference and didn't obtain a new reference in the
proper way.

Lets stop pretending and just remove the get/put.  The
mem_sysfs_mutex, which we hold over the entire init loop now, will
prevent the memory blocks from disappearing from under us.

add_memory_section() is currently called from both boot time and run
time via hotplug and there is a lot of nastiness to allow for shared
code including an enum parameter to convey the calling context to
add_memory_section().

This patch is the first step in breaking up the messy code sharing by
pulling the hotplug path for add_memory_section() directly into
register_new_memory().

Attribute groups now can handle binary sysfs attributes, so clean up the
code here by using a binary attribute array.  This saves us the extra
call to create the binary attribute at saves 6 lines overall.

There is a potential race condition between cpu_subsys_online()
and either acpi_processor_remove() or remove_memory() that execute
try_offline_node().  Namely, it is possible that cpu_subsys_online()
will run right after the CPUs NUMA node has been put offline and
cpu_to_node() executed by it will return NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).  In
that case the CPU is gone and it doesn't make sense to call cpu_up()
for it, so make cpu_subsys_online() return -ENODEV then.

arch_provides_topology_pointers was introduced in commit 23ca4bba (x86:
cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4) to indicate pointers to the
topology cpumask_t maps are valid to avoid copying data on to/off of the
stack.

But later in commit fbd59a8d (cpumask: Use topology_core_cpumask()/
topology_thread_cpumask()), the pointers to the topology struct cpumask maps
are always valid.

After that commit, the only difference is that there is a redundant
"unsigned int cpu = dev->id;" if arch_provides_topology_pointers defined, but
dev->id is type 'u32' which devolves to 'unsigned int' on all supported arches.
So this arch_provides_topology_pointers define is pointless and only cause
obfuscation now, remove it.

Tested on x86 machine, topology information in sys/devices/system/cpu/
cpuX/topology/ is the same after appling this patch set.
