Sorry, last week I didn't test this patch with memory pressure adding.
Today use "stress -m 200 -t 2h" to add pressure, hot removing failed.
Will send you output log. W/o memory pressure, it sometimes succeed. I
saw one failure last night, it still show un-removable as 0 in
hotpluggable node one time, I worried it might be caused by my compiling
mistake, so compile and try again this morning.

Thanks
