These functions are being open-coded in 3 different places in the driver
core, and other driver subsystems will want to start doing this as well,
so move it to the sysfs core to keep it all in one place, where we know
it is written properly.

There are two ways to set the online/offline state for a memory block:
echo 0|1 > online and echo online|online_kernel|online_movable|offline >
state.
The state attribute can online a memory block with extra data, the
"online type", where the online attribute uses a default online type of
ONLINE_KEEP, same as echo online > state.
Currently there is a state_mutex that provides consistency between the
memory block state and the underlying memory.
The problem is that this code does a lot of things that the common
device layer can do for us, such as the serialization of the
online/offline handlers using the device lock, setting the dev->offline
field, and calling kobject_uevent().
This patch refactors the online/offline code to allow the common
device_[online|offline] functions to be used. The result is a simpler
and more common code path for the two state setting mechanisms. It also
removes the state_mutex from the struct memory_block as the memory block
device lock provides the state consistency.
No functional change is intended by this patch.

Right now memory_dev_init() maintains the memory block pointer
between iterations of add_memory_section(). This is nasty.
This patch refactors add_memory_section() to become add_memory_block().
The refactoring pulls the section scanning out of memory_dev_init()
and simplifies the signature.

The path through add_memory_section() when the memory block already
exists uses flawed refcounting logic. A get_device() is done on a
memory block using a pointer that might not be valid as we dropped
our previous reference and didn't obtain a new reference in the
proper way.
Lets stop pretending and just remove the get/put. The
mem_sysfs_mutex, which we hold over the entire init loop now, will
prevent the memory blocks from disappearing from under us.

Now that add_memory_section() is only called from boot time, reduce
the logic and remove the enum.

add_memory_section() is currently called from both boot time and run
time via hotplug and there is a lot of nastiness to allow for shared
code including an enum parameter to convey the calling context to
add_memory_section().
This patch is the first step in breaking up the messy code sharing by
pulling the hotplug path for add_memory_section() directly into
register_new_memory().

There is no point in releasing the mutex for each section that is added
during boot time. Just hold it over the entire initialization loop.

Attribute groups now can handle binary sysfs attributes, so clean up the
code here by using a binary attribute array. This saves us the extra
call to create the binary attribute at saves 6 lines overall.

I can take this in my driver-core tree if someone from ACPI acks it,
otherwise, feel free to take it through the ACPI trees instead, just
let me know.

Now that attribute groups support binary attributes, use them instead of
the dev_bin_attrs field in struct class, as that is going away soon.

__BIN_ATTR_RW() wasn't passing in the _size field. As it would break
the build if this macro was ever used, it's obvious no one had ever
tried to use it before.
Fix it so that it can be used.
