[PATCH V3 2/3] arm64/mm/hotplug: Enable MEM_OFFLINE event handling

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 08:06:10 EST


This enables MEM_OFFLINE memory event handling. It will help intercept any
possible error condition such as if boot memory some how still got offlined
even after an explicit notifier failure, potentially by a future change in
generic hot plug framework. This would help detect such scenarios and help
debug further.
