hv_balloon: Fallback to generic_online_page() for non-HV hot added mem
The Hyper-V balloon driver installs a custom callback for handling page onlining operations performed by the memory hotplug subsystem. This custom callback is global, and overrides the default callback (generic_online_page) that Linux otherwise uses. The custom callback properly handles memory that is hot-added by the balloon driver as part of a Hyper-V hot-add region. But memory can also be hot-added directly by a device driver for a vPCI device, particularly GPUs. In such a case, the custom callback installed by the balloon driver runs, but won't find the page in its hot-add region list and doesn't online it, which could cause driver initialization failures. Fix this by having the balloon custom callback run generic_online_page() when the page isn't part of a Hyper-V hot-add region, thereby doing the default Linux behavior. This allows device driver hot-adds to work properly. Similar cases are handled the same way in the virtio-mem driver.
