Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in
add_memory_resource()

In add_memory_resource(), creation of memory block devices occurs after successful call to arch_add_memory(). However, creation of memory block devices could fail. In that case, arch_remove_memory() is called to perform necessary cleanup.

Currently with or without altmap support, arch_remove_memory() is always passed with altmap set to NULL during error handling. This leads to freeing of struct pages using free_pages(), eventhough the allocation might have been performed with altmap support via altmap_alloc_block_buf().

Fix the error handling by passing altmap in arch_remove_memory(). This ensures the following:
* When altmap is disabled, deallocation of the struct pages array occurs via free_pages().
* When altmap is enabled, deallocation occurs via vmem_altmap_free().

Fixes a08a2ae34613 ("mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range")
