We currently have a hack for virtio-mem in place to handle memory
offlining with PageOffline pages for which we already adjusted the
managed page count.
Let's enlighten memory offlining code so we can get rid of that hack,
and document the situation.

We currently initialize the memmap such that PG_reserved is set and the
refcount of the page is 1. In virtio-mem code, we have to manually clear
that PG_reserved flag to make memory offlining with partially hotplugged
memory blocks possible: has_unmovable_pages() would otherwise bail out on
such pa

This can be a considered a long-overdue follow-up to some parts of [1].
The patches are based on [2], but they are not strictly required -- just
makes it clearer why we can use adjust_managed_page_count() for memory
hotplug without going into details about highmem.
We stop initializing pages with
