[PATCH V2 2/2]: powerpc/hotplug/mm: Fix hot-add memory node assoc

Removing or adding memory via the PowerPC hotplug interface shows
anomalies in the association between memory and nodes.  The code
was updated to ensure that all nodes found at boot are still available
to subsequent DLPAR hotplug-memory operations, even if they are not
needed at boot time.

Changes in V2:
  -- Simplify patches to ensure more nodes in possible map, removing
     code from PowerPC numa.c that constrained possible map to size
     of online map.
