resize_hpt_for_hotplug() reports a warning when it cannot
resize the hash page table ("Unable to resize hash page
table to target order") but in some cases it's not a problem
and can make user thinks something has not worked properly.

This patch moves the warning to arch_remove_memory() to
only report the problem when it is needed.

The || should go on the line above and the two (target_hpt... should be
aligned, and the () after the < are superflous.

And indeed, we should (in another patch) rename 'target_hpt_shift' with
a shorter name, this would avoid multiple lines.

Ref
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#naming :

LOCAL variable names should be short, and to the point. If you have some
random integer loop counter, it should probably be called i. Calling it
loop_counter is non-productive, if there is no chance of it being
mis-understood. Similarly, tmp can be just about any type of variable
that is used to hold a temporary value.

If you are afraid to mix up your local variable names, you have another
problem, which is called the function-growth-hormone-imbalance syndrome.
See chapter 6 (Functions).


I'm only removing a warning. Do we really need to rewrite all the code
around for that?

No, and that's the reason why I said it could be done in another (future) patch.

Anyway, your patch should be clean regarding checkpatch
