In add_memory_resource(), creation of memory block devices occurs after
successful call to arch_add_memory(). However, creation of memory block
devices could fail.  In that case, arch_remove_memory() is called to
perform necessary cleanup.

Currently with or without altmap support, arch_remove_memory() is always
passed with altmap set to NULL during error handling. This leads to
freeing of struct pages using free_pages(), eventhough the allocation
might have been performed with altmap support via
altmap_alloc_block_buf().

Fix the error handling by passing altmap in arch_remove_memory(). This
ensures the following:
* When altmap is disabled, deallocation of the struct pages array occurs
  via free_pages().
* When altmap is enabled, deallocation occurs via vmem_altmap_free().

That's the wrong commit. We didn't support memmap-on-memory back then.

Likely it should be:

Fixes: a08a2ae34613 ("mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added 
memory range")

Indeed; this will conflict with Vishals patches, ccing him.

Ok, I will change it accordingly
