Nice optimization! I suppose that it is remnant from very early
version of memory hotplug. Probably after a few patch series
iterations hotplug_pages and balloon_hotplug lost their meaning
and I did not catch it. Additionally, as I can see there is not
any consumer for total_pages here. So, I think that we can go
further and remove this obfuscated code at all.
