Jacob Pan 1da602ec36 hv_balloon: Fallback to generic_online_page() for non-HV hot added mem
The Hyper-V balloon driver installs a custom callback for handling page
onlining operations performed by the memory hotplug subsystem. This
custom callback is global, and overrides the default callback
(generic_online_page) that Linux otherwise uses. The custom callback
properly handles memory that is hot-added by the balloon driver as part
of a Hyper-V hot-add region.

But memory can also be hot-added directly by a device driver for a vPCI
device, particularly GPUs. In such a case, the custom callback installed by
the balloon driver runs, but won't find the page in its hot-add region list
and doesn't online it, which could cause driver initialization failures.

Fix this by having the balloon custom callback run generic_online_page()
when the page isn't part of a Hyper-V hot-add region, thereby doing the
default Linux behavior. This allows device driver hot-adds to work
properly. Similar cases are handled the same way in the virtio-mem driver.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
