There is a series [1] which adds some new hotplug functions starting
with mhp_ (after deciding in its favor rather than memhp_). We should
have a common naming scheme either memhp_ based or mhp_ based but not
mixed. As it was proposed [2] to go with mhp_ based names instead, all
the existing memhp_ needed renaming. Hence the this patch.
