mm: add private lock to serialize memory hotplug operations
Commit bfc8c90139eb ("mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems")
introduced new functions get/put_online_mems() and mem_hotplug_begin/end()
in order to allow similar semantics for memory hotplug like for cpu
hotplug.
The corresponding functions for cpu hotplug are get/put_online_cpus()
and cpu_hotplug_begin/done() for cpu hotplug.
The commit however missed to introduce functions that would serialize
memory hotplug operations like they are done for cpu hotplug with
cpu_maps_update_begin/done().
This basically leaves mem_hotplug.active_writer unprotected and allows
concurrent writers to modify it, which may lead to problems as outlined
by commit f931ab479dd2 ("mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use
mem_hotplug_{begin, done}").
That commit was extended again with commit b5d24fda9c3d ("mm,
devm_memremap_pages: hold device_hotplug lock over mem_hotplug_{begin,
done}") which serializes memory hotplug operations for some call sites
by using the device_hotplug lock.
In addition with commit 3fc21924100b ("mm: validate device_hotplug is held
for memory hotplug") a sanity check was added to mem_hotplug_begin() to
verify that the device_hotplug lock is held.
This in turn triggers the following warning on s390:
WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 1 at drivers/base/core.c:643 assert_held_device_hotplug+0x4a/0x58

One possible fix would be to add more lock_device_hotplug() and
unlock_device_hotplug() calls around each call site of
mem_hotplug_begin/end(). But that would give the device_hotplug lock
additional semantics it better should not have (serialize memory hotplug
operations).
Instead add a new memory_add_remove_lock which has the similar semantics
like cpu_add_remove_lock for cpu hotplug.
To keep things hopefully a bit easier the lock will be locked and unlocked
within the mem_hotplug_begin/end() functions.
