powernv/memtrace: don't abuse memory hot(un)plug infrastructure for memory allocations

Browse Source 
Let's use alloc_contig_pages() for allocating memory and remove the
linear mapping manually via arch_remove_linear_mapping(). Mark all pages
PG_offline, such that they will definitely not get touched - e.g.,
when hibernating. When freeing memory, try to revert what we did.

The original idea was discussed in:
 https://lkml.kernel.org/r/48340e96-7e6b-736f-9e23-d3111b915b6e@redhat.com

This is similar to CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC handling on other
architectures, whereby only single pages are unmapped from the linear
mapping. Let's mimic what memory hot(un)plug would do with the linear
mapping.

We now need MEMORY_HOTPLUG and CONTIG_ALLOC as dependencies. Add a TODO
that we want to use __GFP_ZERO for clearing once alloc_contig_pages()
understands that.

Tested with in QEMU/TCG with 10 GiB of main memory:

I also made sure allocated memory is properly zeroed.

Note 1: We currently won't be allocating from ZONE_MOVABLE - because our
	pages are not movable. However, as we don't run with any memory
	hot(un)plug mechanism around, we could make an exception to
	increase the chance of allocations succeeding.

Note 2: PG_reserved isn't sufficient. E.g., kernel_page_present() used
	along PG_reserved in hibernation code will always return "true"
	on powerpc, resulting in the pages getting touched. It's too
	generic - e.g., indicates boot allocations.

Note 3: For now, we keep using memory_block_size_bytes() as minimum
	granularity.
