[PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Validate memcons descriptor and output buffer

Currently, it's assumed that memcons and its output buffer are included
in the linear mapping. It's not true when "mem=384M" is included in
bootargs. The system runs into kernel crash eventually.

   # od -x /proc/device-tree/ibm,opal/ibm,opal-memcons
   0000000 0000 0000 0b30 0010
   0000010

This validates memcons descriptor and its output buffer to ensure they
are valid in linear mapping. Otherwise, the interface won't be populated
to avoid kernel crash during system boot.
