This is the result of a recent discussion with Michal ([1], [2]). Right
now we set all pages PG_reserved when initializing hotplugged memmaps. This
includes ZONE_DEVICE memory. In case of system memory, PG_reserved is
cleared again when onlining the memory, in case of ZONE_DEVICE memory
never.

In ancient times, we needed PG_reserved, because there was no way to tell
whether the memmap was already properly initialized. We now have
SECTION_IS_ONLINE for that in the case of !ZONE_DEVICE memory. ZONE_DEVICE
memory is already initialized deferred, and there shouldn't be a visible
change in that regard.

One of the biggest fears were side effects. I went ahead and audited all
users of PageReserved(). The details can be found in "mm/memory_hotplug:
Don't mark pages PG_reserved when initializing the memmap".

This patch set adapts all relevant users of PageReserved() to keep the
existing behavior in respect to ZONE_DEVICE pages. The biggest part part
that needs changes is KVM, to keep the existing behavior (that's all I
care about in this series).

Note that this series is able to rely completely on pfn_to_online_page().
No new is_zone_device_page() calles are introduced (as requested by Dan).
We are currently discussing a way to mark also ZONE_DEVICE memmaps as
active/initialized - pfn_active() - and lightweight locking to make sure
memmaps remain active (e.g., using RCU). We might later be able to convert
some suers of pfn_to_online_page() to pfn_active(). Details can be found
in [3], however, this represents yet another cleanup/fix we'll perform
on top of this cleanup.

I only gave it a quick test with DIMMs on x86-64, but didn't test the
ZONE_DEVICE part at all (any tips for a nice QEMU setup?). Also, I didn't
test the KVM parts (especially with ZONE_DEVICE pages or no memmap at all).
Compile-tested on x86-64 and PPC.

Based on next/master. The current version (kept updated) can be found at:
    https://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux.git online_reserved_cleanup

RFC -> v1:
- Dropped "staging/gasket: Prepare gasket_release_page() for PG_reserved
  changes"
- Dropped "staging: kpc2000: Prepare transfer_complete_cb() for PG_reserved
  changes"
- Converted "mm/usercopy.c: Prepare check_page_span() for PG_reserved
  changes" to "mm/usercopy.c: Update comment in check_page_span()
  regarding ZONE_DEVICE"
- No new users of is_zone_device_page() are introduced.
- Rephrased comments and patch descriptions.
