Can you make the subject a bit more descriptive?

Currently this prevents node hotplug, so it's required that we remove it
to support that IIUIC.

I don't think Fixes is right here, that commit wasn't buggy, it was just
a workaround for the code at that time.

Just say "This is a revert of commit 3af229f2071f ("powerpc/numa: Reset
node_possible_map to only node_online_map")".

Otherwise LGTM to go via mm.
