mm/memory_hotplug: replace an open-coded kmemdup() in add_memory_resource()

Patch series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem", v10.

The dax/kmem driver can potentially hot-add large amounts of memory
originating from CXL memory expanders, or NVDIMMs, or other 'device
memories'.  There is a chance there isn't enough regular system memory
available to fit the memmap for this new memory.  It's therefore
desirable, if all other conditions are met, for the kmem managed memory to
place its memmap on the newly added memory itself.

The main hurdle for accomplishing this for kmem is that memmap_on_memory
can only be done if the memory being added is equal to the size of one
memblock.  To overcome this, allow the hotplug code to split an
add_memory() request into memblock-sized chunks, and try_remove_memory()
to also expect and handle such a scenario.

Patch 1 replaces an open-coded kmemdup()

Patch 2 teaches the memory_hotplug code to allow for splitting
add_memory() and remove_memory() requests over memblock sized chunks.

Patch 3 allows the dax region drivers to request memmap_on_memory
semantics. CXL dax regions default this to 'on', all others default to
off to keep existing behavior unchanged.


This patch (of 3):

A review of the memmap_on_memory modifications to add_memory_resource()
revealed an instance of an open-coded kmemdup().  Replace it with
kmemdup().
