mm/memory_hotplug.c: make add_memory_resource use __try_online_node

This is a small cleanup for the memhotplug code.  A lot more could be
done, but it is better to start somewhere.  I tried to unify/remove
duplicated code.

The following is what this patchset does:

1) add_memory_resource() has code to allocate a node in case it was
   offline.  Since try_online_node has some code for that as well, I just
   made add_memory_resource() to use that so we can remove duplicated
   code..  This is better explained in patch 1/4.

2) register_mem_sect_under_node() will be called only from
   link_mem_sections()

3) Make register_mem_sect_under_node() a callback of
   walk_memory_range()

4) Drop unnecessary checks from register_mem_sect_under_node()

I have done some tests and I could not see anything broken because of
this patchset.

add_memory_resource() contains code to allocate a new node in case it is
necessary.  Since try_online_node() also has some code for this purpose,
let us make use of that and remove duplicate code.

This introduces __try_online_node(), which is called by
add_memory_resource() and try_online_node().  __try_online_node() has
two new parameters, start_addr of the node, and if the node should be
onlined and registered right away.  This is always wanted if we are
calling from do_cpu_up(), but not when we are calling from memhotplug
code.  Nothing changes from the point of view of the users of
try_online_node(), since try_online_node passes start_addr=0 and
online_node=true to __try_online_node().
