We don't call __add_pages() directly in the function add_memory()
because some other architecture related thins needs to be done
before or after calling __add_pages(). So we should not call
__remove_pages() directly in the function remove_memory.
Introduce new function arch_remove_memory() to revert the things done
in arch_add_memory().

Note: the function for x86_64 will be implemented later. And I don't
know how to implement it for s390.

I think you need cc to other arch ML for reviewing the patch.

Why does not the function call __remove_pages()?

arch_remove_memory() should clear the page table after remove pages here.
I implement this function in patch 8.
