[RFC PATCH] powerpc/numa: initialize distance lookup table from drconf path

Node distance will not get initialized in certain cases as
dynamic-reconfiguration path does not initialize the lookup table.

There is an assumption about the associativity list in
initialize_distance_lookup_table(). Associativity list has two forms:

a) [cpu,memory]@x/ibm,associativity has following
   format:

    <N> <N integers>

b) ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory/ibm,associativity-lookup-arrays

   <M> <N> <M*N integers>
   M = the number of associativity lists
   N = the number of entries per associativity list

Fix initialize_distance_lookup_table() so that it does not assume
"case a". And update the caller to skip the length field before
sending the associativity list.

Call initialize_distance_lookup_table() from drconf path with
appropriate associativity list.
