[RFC PATCH] mm: set memory section offline when all its pages are offline.

[lantianyu1986]

From: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If size of offline memory region passed to offline_pages() is
not aligned with PAGES_PER_SECTION, memory section will be set
to offline in the offline_mem_sections() with some pages of
memory section online. Fix it, Update memory section status after
marking offline pages as "reserved" in __offline_isolated_pages()
and check all pages in memory are reserved or not before setting
memory section offline.

This patch is to prepare for hot remove memory function in Hyper-V
balloon driver. It requests to offline memory with random size.
