hugetlb: handle memory hot-plug events
Register per node hstate attributes only for nodes with memory. As suggested by David Rientjes. With Memory Hotplug, memory can be added to a memoryless node and a node with memory can become memoryless. Therefore, add a memory on/off-line notifier callback to [un]register a node's attributes on transition to/from memoryless state. N.B., Only tested build, boot, libhugetlbfs regression. i.e., no memory hotplug testing.
