mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_pages
There are new users of memory hotplug emerging. Some of them require
different subset of arch_add_memory. There are some which only require
allocation of struct pages without mapping those pages to the kernel
address space. We currently have __add_pages for that purpose. But this
is rather lowlevel and not very suitable for the code outside of the
memory hotplug. E.g. x86_64 wants to update max_pfn which should be done
by the caller. Introduce add_pages() which should care about those
details if they are needed. Each architecture should define its
implementation and select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ADD_PAGES. All others use the
currently existing __add_pages.
