mm: sections are not offlined during memory hotremove
Memory hotplug and hotremove operate with per-block granularity. If the
machine has a large amount of memory (more than 64G), the size of a
memory block can span multiple sections. By mistake, during hotremove
we set only the first section to offline state.
The bug was discovered because kernel selftest started to fail:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180423011247.GK5563@yexl-desktop
After commit, "mm/memory_hotplug: optimize probe routine". But, the bug
is older than this commit. In this optimization we also added a check
for sections to be in a proper state during hotplug operation.
