[PATCH] mm/hotplug: Verify hotplug memory range

[Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>]

add_memory() and remove_memory() can only handle a memory range aligned
with section.  There are problems when an unaligned range is added and
then deleted as follows:

 - add_memory() with an unaligned range succeeds, but __add_pages()
   called from add_memory() adds a whole section of pages even though
   a given memory range is less than the section size.
 - remove_memory() to the added unaligned range hits BUG_ON() in
   __remove_pages().

This patch changes add_memory() and remove_memory() to check if a given
memory range is aligned with section at the beginning.  As the result,
add_memory() fails with -EINVAL when a given range is unaligned, and
does not add such memory range.  This prevents remove_memory() to be
called with an unaligned range as well.  Note that remove_memory() has
to use BUG_ON() since this function cannot fail.
