mm/memory_hotplug: skip adjust_managed_page_count() for PageOffline() pages when offlining
We currently have a hack for virtio-mem in place to handle memory
offlining with PageOffline pages for which we already adjusted the managed
page count.
Let's enlighten memory offlining code so we can get rid of that hack, and
document the situation.
