[PATCH] powerpc/pserie: Use lmb_is_removable() to check removability

We should be using lmb_is_removable() to validate that enough LMBs
are available to remove when doing a remove by count. This will check
that the LMB is owned by the system and it is considered removable.
This patch also adds a pr_info() notification to report the LMB count
to remove was not satisfied.

What we do now is just check that there are enough LMBs owned by the
system when validating there are enough LMBs to remove. This can
lead to situations where there are enough LMBs owned by the system
but not enough that are considered removable. This results in having
to bail out of the remove operation instead of just failing the request
that we should have known wouldn't succeed.
