[PATCH v1 3/3] mm/memory_hotplug: skip adjust_managed_page_count() for PageOffline() pages when offlining

[David Hildenbrand]

We currently have a hack for virtio-mem in place to handle memory
offlining with PageOffline pages for which we already adjusted the
managed page count.

Let's enlighten memory offlining code so we can get rid of that hack,
and document the situation.
