[PATCH V8 3/3] hotplug/cpu: Fix crash with memoryless nodes

[Michael Bringmann]

On powerpc systems with shared configurations of CPUs and memory and
memoryless nodes at boot, an event ordering problem was observed on
a SLES12 build platforms with the hot-add of CPUs to the memoryless
nodes.

* The most common error occurred when the memory SLAB driver attempted
  to reference the memoryless node to which a CPU was being added
  before the kernel had finished initializing all of the data structures
  for the CPU and exited 'device_online' under DLPAR/hot-add.

  Normally the memoryless node would be initialized through the call
  path device_online ... arch_update_cpu_topology ... find_cpu_nid
  ...  try_online_node.  This patch ensures that the powerpc node will
  be initialized as early as possible, even if it was memoryless and
  CPU-less at the point when we are trying to hot-add a new CPU to it.

Changes in V8:
  -- Change a 'printk(KERN_INFO ...)' statement to be a pr_debug()
     statement.
  -- Rename 'find_cpu_nid' to 'find_and_online_cpu_nid' for better
     clarity of its function.
