[PATCH v6 0/3] Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave

[Rakie Kim <rakie.kim@sk.com>]

The following patch series enhances the weighted interleave policy in the
memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks,
and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support.

### Background
The weighted interleave policy distributes memory allocations across multiple
NUMA nodes based on their performance weight, thereby optimizing memory
bandwidth utilization. The weight values are configured through sysfs.

Previously, sysfs entries for weighted interleave were managed statically
at initialization. This led to several issues:
- Memory Leaks: Improper `kobject` teardown caused memory leaks
  when initialization failed or when nodes were removed.
- Lack of Dynamic Updates: Sysfs attributes were created only during
  initialization, preventing nodes added at runtime from being recognized.
- Handling of Unusable Nodes: Sysfs entries were generated for all
  possible nodes (`N_POSSIBLE`), including memoryless or unavailable nodes,
  leading to sysfs entries for unusable nodes and potential
  misconfigurations.

### Patch Overview
1. [PATCH 1/3] mm/mempolicy: Fix memory leaks in weighted interleave sysfs
   - Ensures proper cleanup of `kobject` allocations.
   - Adds `kobject_del()` before `kobject_put()` to clean up sysfs state correctly.
   - Prevents memory/resource leaks and improves teardown behavior.

2. [PATCH 2/3] mm/mempolicy: Prepare weighted interleave sysfs for memory hotplug
   - Refactors static sysfs layout into a new `sysfs_wi_group` structure.
   - Makes per-node sysfs attributes accessible to external modules.
   - Lays groundwork for future hotplug support by enabling runtime modification.

3. [PATCH 3/3] mm/mempolicy: Support memory hotplug in weighted interleave
   - Dynamically adds/removes sysfs entries when nodes are online/offline.
   - Limits sysfs creation to nodes with memory, avoiding unusable node entries.
   - Hooks into memory hotplug notifier for runtime updates.

These patches have been tested under CXL-based memory configurations,
including hotplug scenarios, to ensure proper behavior and stability.
