Jack Cheung 59f9f1c9ae mm: Add total_unmovable_pages global variable ...

Vmalloc will exit if the amount it needs to allocate is
greater than totalram_pages. Vmalloc cannot allocate
from the movable zone, so pages in the movable zone should
not be counted.

This change adds a new global variable: total_unmovable_pages.
It is calculated in init.c, based on totalram_pages minus
the pages in the movable zone. Vmalloc now looks at this new
global instead of totalram_pages.

total_unmovable_pages can be modified during memory_hotplug.
If the zone you are offlining/onlining is unmovable, then
you modify it similar to totalram_pages.  If the zone is
movable, then no change is needed.
