After the user config CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE,
When the memory is hot added, should_add_memory_movable() return 0
because all zones including ZONE_MOVABLE are empty,
so the memory that was hot added will be assigned to ZONE_NORMAL
and ZONE_NORMAL will be created firstly.
But we want the whole node to be added to ZONE_MOVABLE by default.

So we change should_add_memory_movable(): if the user config
CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE and sysctl parameter hotadd_memory_as_movable is 1
and the ZONE_NORMAL is empty or the pfn of the hot-added memory
is after the end of the ZONE_NORMAL it will always return 1
and then the whole node will be added to ZONE_MOVABLE by default.
If we want the node to be assigned to ZONE_NORMAL,
we can do it as follows:
"echo online_kernel > /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX/state"

By the patch, the behavious of kernel is changed by sysctl,
user can automatically create movable memory
by only the following udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add",
ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online"
    I'm sorry for replying you so late due to the busy business trip.
So just to be clear, we are adding a new sysctl, because the existing
movable_node kernel option, which is checked by movable_node_is_enabled(), and
does the same thing for non-hot-added-memory (?) cannot be reused for hot-added
memory, as that would be a potentially surprising behavior change? Correct? Then
this should be mentioned in the changelog too, and wherever "movable_node" is
documented should also mention the new sysctl. Personally, I would expect
movable_node to affect hot-added memory as well, and would be surprised that it
doesn't...
    I think it can let the user decides when to use this feature.
The user can enable the feature when making the hot_added memory of a node movable and make the feature disable to assign the hot_added memory of the next node to ZONE_NORMAL .
