Heh, I wanted to get rid of memhp_auto_online so much and now we have it
in the core memory_hotplug. Not a win on my side I would say :/
On the other hand this can be seen as a cleanup because it removes that
ambiguity that some callers might be unaware of the memhp_auto_online
leading to a different behavior.
