mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}

Both arch_add_memory() and arch_remove_memory() expect a single threaded
context.

For example, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c::kernel_physical_mapping_init() does
not hold any locks over this check and branch:

    if (pgd_val(*pgd)) {
     pud = (pud_t *)pgd_page_vaddr(*pgd);
     paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr),
        __pa(vaddr_end),
        page_size_mask);
     continue;
    }

    pud = alloc_low_page();
    paddr_last = phys_pud_init(pud, __pa(vaddr), __pa(vaddr_end),
        page_size_mask);

The result is that two threads calling devm_memremap_pages()
simultaneously can end up colliding on pgd initialization.  This leads
to crash signatures like the following where the loser of the race
initializes the wrong pgd entry:

Hold the standard memory hotplug mutex over calls to
arch_{add,remove}_memory().
