This moves memory notifier registration earlier in the boot process from device_initcall() to early_initcall() which will help in guarding against potential early boot memory offline requests. Even though there should not be any actual offlinig requests till memory block devices are initialized with memory_dev_init() but then generic init sequence might just change in future. Hence an early registration for the memory event notifier would be helpful. While here, just skip the registration if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is not enabled and also call out when memory notifier registration fails.
