I wouldn't consider this a duplicate of  1709171. The patch referred to
in this bz is a more complete fix than just disabling the auto onlining
of memory.

The key thing to note is that  even if we disable auto onlining by
default,  a user can still enable this behavior through sysfs. If a user
were to do that with the patch mentioned in this bug we would see the
same behavior this bug was opened for.

The patch referenced here makes a check to see if the memory is already
online or offline before onling or offlining it.
