[PATCH v2 2/3] mm,memory_hotplug: Drop unneeded locking

[Oscar Salvador]

Currently, memory-hotplug code takes zone's span_writelock
and pgdat's resize_lock when resizing the node/zone's spanned
pages via {move_pfn_range_to_zone(),remove_pfn_range_from_zone()}
and when resizing node and zone's present pages via
adjust_present_page_count().

These locks are also taken during the initialization of the system
at boot time, where it protects parallel struct page initialization,
but they should not really be needed in memory-hotplug where all
operations are a) synchronized on device level and b) serialized by
the mem_hotplug_lock lock.

Given that there are no users of span_seqlock, rip out all related
functions.
