mm, devm_memremap_pages: hold device_hotplug lock over mem_hotplug_{begin, done}
The mem_hotplug_{begin,done} lock coordinates with {get,put}_online_mems()
to hold off "readers" of the current state of memory from new hotplug
actions. mem_hotplug_begin() expects exclusive access, via the
device_hotplug lock, to set mem_hotplug.active_writer. Calling
mem_hotplug_begin() without locking device_hotplug can lead to
corrupting mem_hotplug.refcount and missed wakeups / soft lockups.
