[PATCH 2/2] arm64: allow hotpluggable sections to be offlined

[Sudarshan Rajagopalan]

On receiving the MEM_GOING_OFFLINE notification, we disallow offlining of
any boot memory by checking if section_early or not. With the introduction
of SECTION_MARK_HOTPLUGGABLE, allow boot mem sections that are marked as
hotpluggable with this bit set to be offlined and removed. This now allows
certain boot mem sections to be offlined.
