[PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lock

pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.

Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem().  However, they are all included for completeness.  This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.

This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated.  This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed.  The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
reference on the page, such as in show_mem().
