hugetlb: offload per node attribute registrations
Offload the registration and unregistration of per node hstate sysfs
attributes to a worker thread rather than attempt the
allocation/attachment or detachment/freeing of the attributes in the
context of the memory hotplug handler.
I don't know that this is absolutely required, but the registration can
sleep in allocations and other mem hot plug handlers do it this way. If
it turns out this is NOT required, we can drop this patch.
N.B., Only tested build, boot, libhugetlbfs regression.
i.e., no memory hotplug testing.
