hotplug memory remove: generic __remove_pages() support

Generic helper function to remove section mappings and sysfs entries for the
section of the memory we are removing.  offline_pages() correctly adjusted
zone and marked the pages reserved.

TODO: Yasunori Goto is working on patches to free up allocations from bootmem.
