[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance

Form 1 affinity allows multiple entries in ibm,associativity-reference-points
which represent affinity domains in decreasing order of importance. The
Linux concept of a node is always the first entry, but using the other
values as an input to node_distance() allows the memory allocator to make
better decisions on which node to go first when local memory has been
exhausted.

We keep things simple and create an array indexed by NUMA node, capped at
4 entries. Each time we lookup an associativity property we initialise
the array which is overkill, but since we should only hit this path during
boot it didn't seem worth adding a per node valid bit.
