[PATCH RFC v2 09/19] fs/resctrl: Take memory hotplug lock whenever taking CPU hotplug lock

From: James Morse <james.morse at arm.com>

resctrl takes the read side CPU hotplug lock whenever it is working
with the list of domains. This prevents a CPU being brought online
and the list being modified while resctrl is walking the list, or
picking CPUs from the CPU masks.

If resctrl domains for CPU-less NUMA nodes are to be supported, this
would not be enough to prevent the domain list form being modified as
a NUMA node can come online with only memory.

Take the memory hotplug lock whenever the CPU hotplug lock is taken.
