offline_and_remove_memory() handles a single contiguous range.
Callers that manage a device composed of several ranges (dax/kmem)
currently have to call it in a loop, which gives up atomicity.
In addition to pushing rollback logic into the driver, the lack of
atomicity creates a race condition between system daemons trying to manage
the same resource:
- Manager 1: Offlines memory blocks. Removes device.
^^^^
- Manager 2: Detects offline memory blocks, re-onlines them.
Add offline_and_remove_memory_ranges(), which takes an array of ranges and
processes them as one operation under a single lock_device_hotplug():
- Phase 1 offlines every block of every range.
- Phase 2 removes the ranges only if all ranges are offline.
- If any offline fails, the whole operation is reverted.
This gives callers all-or-nothing semantics for the offline step, so a
failed or interrupted unplug leaves the device in a consistent state.
This also resolves the battling managers race - the second manager's
operation simply fails when the block is destroyed / cannot be onlined.
offline_and_remove_memory() becomes a thin wrapper that passes its single
range to the new helper, so the offline/rollback logic lives in one place.
