memory hotplug: allow setting of phys_device

Browse Source 
/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/phys_device is supposed to contain the
number of the physical device that the corresponding piece of memory
belongs to.

In case a physical device should be replaced or taken offline for whatever
reason it is necessary to set all corresponding memory pieces offline.
The current implementation always sets phys_device to '0' and there is no
way or hook to change that.  Seems like there was a plan to implement that
but it wasn't finished for whatever reason.

So add a weak function which architectures can override to actually set
the phys_device from within add_memory_block().
