[v1,0/5] mm/memory_hotplug: online/offline_pages refactorings

Message

While looking into onlining/offlining of subsections, I noticed that
online/offlining code can in its current form only deal with whole sections
and that onlining/offlining of sections that are already online/offline is
problematic. So let's add some additional checks (that also serve as
implicit documentation) and do some cleanups.

David Hildenbrand (5):
  mm/memory_hotplug: drop intermediate __offline_pages
  mm/memory_hotplug: enforce section alignment when onlining/offlining
  mm/memory_hotplug: check if sections are already online/offline
  mm/memory_hotplug: onlining pages can only fail due to notifiers
  mm/memory_hotplug: print only with DEBUG_VM in online/offline_pages()
