mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages
Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon, virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages as: 1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long. 2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context. 3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated managed_page_count_lock. Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.
