David Hildenbrand aac65321ba mm/memory_hotplug: simplify page onlining
We don't allow to offline memory with holes, all boot memory is online,
and all hotplugged memory cannot have holes.

We can now simplify onlining of pages.  As we only allow to online/offline
full sections and sections always span full MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, we can
just process MAX_ORDER - 1 pages without further special handling.

The number of onlined pages simply corresponds to the number of pages we
were requested to online.

While at it, refine the comment regarding the callback not exposing all
pages to the buddy.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
