hugetlb: handle memory hot-plug events
Register per node hstate attributes only for nodes with memory. As
suggested by David Rientjes.
With Memory Hotplug, memory can be added to a memoryless node and a node
with memory can become memoryless. Therefore, add a memory on/off-line
notifier callback to [un]register a node's attributes on transition
to/from memoryless state.
N.B., Only tested build, boot, libhugetlbfs regression.
i.e., no memory hotplug testing.
