mm, memory_hotplug: provide a more generic restrictions for memory hotplug
arch_add_memory, __add_pages take a want_memblock which controls whether
the newly added memory should get the sysfs memblock user API (e.g.
ZONE_DEVICE users do not want/need this interface). Some callers even
want to control where do we allocate the memmap from by configuring
altmap.
Add a more generic hotplug context for arch_add_memory and __add_pages.
struct mhp_restrictions contains flags which contains additional features
to be enabled by the memory hotplug (MHP_MEMBLOCK_API currently) and
altmap for alternative memmap allocator.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.
