[RFC PATCH 2/4] mm/memory_hotplug: Add memory block altmap sysfs attribute

Currently memmap_on_memory sysfs attribute can determine if the altmap
is supported in the entire system.

However, with CONFIG_RUNTIME_MEMORY_CONFIGURATION, user can dynamically
add or remove individual memory blocks with/without altmap support.
Hence, it is more beneficial to the user, if the altmap support can also
be represented per memory block.

lsmem output could look like the following:
RANGE SIZE STATE BLOCK ALTMAP
0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff 2G online 0-7 0
0x0000000080000000-0x00000001ffffffff 6G online 8-31 0
0x0000000200000000-0x00000002ffffffff 4G offline 32-47 1
