[PATCH V2 2/3] pseries/findnodes: Find nodes with memory for memoryless nodes

pseries/findnodes: On pseries systems which allow 'hot-add' of
resources, we may boot configurations that have CPUs, but no memory
associated to a node by the affinity calculations.  Previously, the
software took a shortcut to collapse initialization and references
to such memoryless nodes with other nodes that did have memory
associated with them at boot.  This patch is based on fixes that
allow the proper initialization and distinguishment of memoryless
and memory-plus nodes after NUMA initialization.  It extends the
use of the 'node_to_mem_node()' API from 'topology.h' to modules
that are allocating node-specific memory at boot, and allows such
references to find available memory in another node.
