Ben notes that commit f931ab479dd2 "mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash,
use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}" is incomplete and broken. Writes to
mem_hotplug.active_writer need to be coordinated under the device
hotplug lock. Otherwise, we can potentially corrupt mem_hotplug.refcount
leading to soft lockups.
