When a VF is being exposed form the kernel, it should be marked as "slave"
before exposing to the user-mode. The VF is not usable without netvsc
running as master. The user-mode should never see a VF without the "slave"
flag.
This commit moves the code of setting the slave flag to the time before
VF is exposed to user-mode.

Subject: checkstack: fix printed address
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2023 19:37:17 +0100
All addresses printed by checkstack have an extra incorrect 0 appended at
the end.
This was introduced with commit 677f1410e058 ("scripts/checkstack.pl: don't
display $dre as different entity"): since then the address is taken from
the line which contains the function name, instead of the line which
contains stack consumption. E.g. on s390:
0000000000100a30 <do_one_initcall>:
...
100a44: e3 f0 ff 70 ff 71 lay %r15,-144(%r15)
So the used regex which matches spaces and hexadecimal numbers to extract
an address now matches a different substring. Subsequently replacing spaces
with 0 appends a zero at the and, instead of replacing leading spaces.
Fix this by using the proper regex, and simplify the code a bit.

Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: fix error handling in add_memory_resource()
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2023 15:53:53 +0100
In add_memory_resource(), creation of memory block devices occurs after
successful call to arch_add_memory(). However, creation of memory block
devices could fail. In that case, arch_remove_memory() is called to
perform necessary cleanup.
Currently with or without altmap support, arch_remove_memory() is always
passed with altmap set to NULL during error handling. This leads to
freeing of struct pages using free_pages(), eventhough the allocation
might have been performed with altmap support via
altmap_alloc_block_buf().
Fix the error handling by passing altmap in arch_remove_memory(). This
ensures the following:
* When altmap is disabled, deallocation of the struct pages array occurs
via free_pages().
* When altmap is enabled, deallocation occurs via vmem_altmap_free().
