riscv: mm: Add memory hotplugging support



For an architecture to support memory hotplugging, a couple of
callbacks needs to be implemented:

 arch_add_memory()
  This callback is responsible for adding the physical memory into the
  direct map, and call into the memory hotplugging generic code via
  __add_pages() that adds the corresponding struct page entries, and
  updates the vmemmap mapping.

 arch_remove_memory()
  This is the inverse of the callback above.

 vmemmap_free()
  This function tears down the vmemmap mappings (if
  CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled), and also deallocates the
  backing vmemmap pages. Note that for persistent memory, an
  alternative allocator for the backing pages can be used; The
  vmem_altmap. This means that when the backing pages are cleared,
  extra care is needed so that the correct deallocation method is
  used.

 arch_get_mappable_range()
  This functions returns the PA range that the direct map can map.
  Used by the MHP internals for sanity checks.

The page table unmap/teardown functions are heavily based on code from
the x86 tree. The same remove_pgd_mapping() function is used in both
vmemmap_free() and arch_remove_memory(), but in the latter function
the backing pages are not removed.
