[PATCH 1/2] mm, memory_hotplug: fix MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP behavior

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

Heiko Carstens has noticed that the MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP is broken currently
$ grep . memory3?/valid_zones
memory34/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory35/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Normal Movable
memory37/valid_zones:Normal Movable

$ echo online_movable > memory34/state
$ grep . memory3?/valid_zones
memory34/valid_zones:Movable
memory35/valid_zones:Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Movable
memory37/valid_zones:Movable

$ echo online > memory36/state
$ grep . memory3?/valid_zones
memory34/valid_zones:Movable
memory36/valid_zones:Normal
memory37/valid_zones:Movable

so we have effectivelly punched a hole into the movable zone. The
problem is that move_pfn_range() check for MMOP_ONLINE_KEEP is wrong.
It only checks whether the given range is already part of the movable
zone which is not the case here as only memory34 is in the zone. Fix
this by using allow_online_pfn_range(..., MMOP_ONLINE_KERNEL) if that
is false then we can be sure that movable onlining is the right thing to
do.
