[PATCH RFC v4 05/13] virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotunplug part 2

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

We can use alloc_contig_range() to try to unplug subblocks. Unplugged
blocks will be marked PG_offline, however, don't have the PG_reserved
flag set. This way, we can differentiate these allocated subblocks from
subblocks that were never onlined and handle them properly in
virtio_mem_fake_online(). free_contig_range() is used to hand back
subblocks to Linux.

It is worth noting that there are no guarantess on how much memory can
actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be
fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged.
We might want to improve the unplugging capability in the future.

We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the
ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined
manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is
suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to
make unplug more likely to succeed.

Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched.

Future work:
- Performance improvements:
-- Sense (lockless) if it make sense to try alloc_contig_range() at all
   before directly trying to isolate and taking locks.
-- Try to unplug bigger chunks if possible first.
-- Identify free areas first, that don't have to be evacuated.
- Make unplug more likely to succeed:
-- There are various idea to limit fragmentation on memory block
   granularity. (e.g., ZONE_PREFER_MOVABLE and smart balancing)
-- Allocate memmap from added memory. This way, less unmovable data can
   end up on the memory blocks.
- OOM handling, e.g., via an OOM handler.
- Defragmentation
-- Will require a new virtio-mem CMD to exchange plugged<->unplugged blocks
