The following commit offload per-node sysfs creation and removal to a

as well. Since it only complicates the code, this patch will revert the
changes to simplify the code.

We could use memory hotplug notifier to do per-node sysfs creation and
removal instead of inserting those operations to node registration and
unregistration. Then, it can reduce the code coupling between node.c and
hugetlb.c. Also, it can simplify the code.
