Why is this named as default_pmem_type?  We will not change the memory
type of a node usually.

The memory hot-add below may fail.  So the error handling needs to be
added.

And, it appears that the memory type and memory tier of a node may be
fully initialized here before NUMA hot-adding started.  So I suggest to
set node_memory_types[] here only.  And set memory_dev_type->nodes in
node hot-add callback.  I think there is the proper place to complete
the initialization.

And, in theory dax/kmem.c can be unloaded.  So we need to clear
node_memory_types[] for nodes somewhere.

Best Regards,
Huang, Ying
