The node demotion order needs to be updated during CPU hotplug.
Because whether a NUMA node has CPU may influence the demotion order.
The update function should be called during CPU online/offline after
the node_states[N_CPU] has been updated.  That is done in
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN during CPU online and in CPUHP_MM_VMSTAT_DEAD
during CPU offline.  But in commit 884a6e5d1f93 ("mm/migrate: update
node demotion order on hotplug events"), the function to update node
demotion order is called in CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN during CPU
online/offline.  This doesn't satisfy the order requirement.

What are the user-visible runtime effects of this error?

 So in
this patch, we added CPUHP_AP_MM_DEMOTION_ONLINE and
CPUHP_MM_DEMOTION_DEAD to be called after CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN and
CPUHP_MM_VMSTAT_DEAD during CPU online and offline, and register the
update function on them.
