Patch series "mm: memory hot(un)plug and SPARSEMEM cleanups", v2.

Some cleanups around memory hot(un)plug and SPARSEMEM.  In essence, we can
limit CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG to CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, remove some dead
code, and move all the hotplug bits over to mm/sparse-vmemmap.c.

Some further/related cleanups around other unnecessary code (memory hole
handling and complicated usemap allocation).

I have some further sparse.c cleanups lying around, and I'm planning on
getting rid of bootmem_info.c entirely.

This patch (of 15):

If a hugetlb folio gets freed while we are in scan_movable_pages(),
folio_nr_pages() could return 0, resulting in or'ing "0 - 1 = -1" to the
PFN, resulting in PFN = -1.  We're not holding any locks or references
that would prevent that.

for_each_valid_pfn() would then search for the next valid PFN, and could
return a PFN that is outside of the range of the original requested range.
do_migrate_page() would then try to migrate quite a big range, which is
certainly undesirable.

To fix it, simply test for valid folio_nr_pages() values.  While at it, as
PageHuge() really just does a page_folio() internally, we can just use
folio_test_hugetlb() on the folio directly.

scan_movable_pages() is expected to be fast, and we try to avoid taking
locks or grabbing references.  We cannot use folio_try_get() as that does
not work for free hugetlb folios.  We could grab the hugetlb_lock, but
that just adds complexity.

The race is unlikely to trigger in practice, so we won't be CCing stable.
