memory-hotplug: create /sys/firmware/memmap entry for new memory

A memmap is a directory in sysfs which includes 3 text files: start, end
and type.  For example:

start:  0x100000
end: 0x7e7b1cff
type: System RAM

Interface firmware_map_add was not called explicitly.  Remove it and add
function firmware_map_add_hotplug as hotplug interface of memmap.

Each memory entry has a memmap in sysfs, When we hot-add new memory, sysfs
does not export memmap entry for it.  We add a call in function add_memory
to function firmware_map_add_hotplug.

Add a new function add_sysfs_fw_map_entry() to create memmap entry, it
will be called when initialize memmap and hot-add memory.
