[PATCH V2] mem-hotplug: let memblock skip the hotpluggable memory regions in __next_mem_range()

[Xishi Qiu]

Let memblock skip the hotpluggable memory regions in __next_mem_range(),
it is used to to prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable memory 
for the kernel at early time. The code is the same as __next_mem_range_rev().

Clear hotpluggable flag before releasing free pages to the buddy allocator.
If we don't clear hotpluggable flag in free_low_memory_core_early(), the 
memory which marked hotpluggable flag will not free to buddy allocator.
Because __next_mem_range() will skip them.

free_low_memory_core_early
	for_each_free_mem_range
		for_each_mem_range
			__next_mem_range
