David Hildenbrand a31648fd4f virtio-mem: keep retrying on offline_and_remove_memory() errors in Sub Block Mode (SBM)
In case offline_and_remove_memory() fails in SBM, we leave a completely
unplugged Linux memory block stick around until we try plugging memory
again. We won't try removing that memory block again.

offline_and_remove_memory() may, for example, fail if we're racing with
another alloc_contig_range() user, if allocating temporary memory fails,
or if some memory notifier rejected the offlining request.

Let's handle that case better, by simple retrying to offline and remove
such memory.

Tested using CONFIG_MEMORY_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECT.

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 Restructured Text 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.
