mm,memory_hotplug: drop unneeded locking
Currently, memory-hotplug code takes zone's span_writelock and pgdat's
resize_lock when resizing the node/zone's spanned pages via
{move_pfn_range_to_zone(),remove_pfn_range_from_zone()} and when resizing
node and zone's present pages via adjust_present_page_count().
These locks are also taken during the initialization of the system at boot
time, where it protects parallel struct page initialization, but they
should not really be needed in memory-hotplug where all operations are a)
synchronized on device level and b) serialized by the mem_hotplug_lock
lock.
