mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix false softlockup during pfn range removal
When working with very large nodes, poisoning the struct pages (for which
there will be very many) can take a very long time. If the system is
using voluntary preemptions, the software watchdog will not be able to
detect forward progress. This patch addresses this issue by offering to
give up time like __remove_pages() does. This behavior was introduced in
v5.6 with: commit d33695b16a9f ("mm/memory_hotplug: poison memmap in
remove_pfn_range_from_zone()")
Alternately, init_page_poison could do this cond_resched(), but it seems
to me that the caller of init_page_poison() is what actually knows whether
or not it should relax its own priority.
Based on Dan's notes, I think this is perfectly safe: commit f931ab479dd2
("mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash, use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}")
Aside from fixing the lockup, it is also a friendlier thing to do on lower
core systems that might wipe out large chunks of hotplug memory (probably
not a very common case).
Fixes this kind of splat:

hotplugged system memory is not affected (onlined/offlined in memory
block granularity)."
