[RFC PATCH v2 3/3] acpi_memhotplug: Add prepare_remove operation

[Vasilis Liaskovitis]

Offlining and removal of memory is now done in the prepare_remove callback,
not in the remove callback.

The prepare_remove callback will be called when trying to remove a memory device
with the following ways:

1. send eject request by SCI
2. echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/devices/PNP0C80:XX/eject
3. echo "PNP0C80:00" > /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/acpi_memhotplug/unbind
