[PATCH] pseries/memory-hotplug: Only update DT once per memory DLPAR request

The updates to powerpc numa and memory hotplug code now use the
in-kernel LMB array instead of the device tree. This change
allows the pseries memory DLPAR code to only update the device
tree once after successfully handling a DLPAR request.

Prior to the in-kernel LMB array, the numa code looked up the
affinity for memory being added in the device tree, the code
now looks this up in the LMB array. This change means the
memory hotplug code can just update the affinity for an LMB
in the LMB array instead of updating the device tree.

This also provides a savings in kernel memory. When updating the
device tree old properties are never free'ed since there is no
usecount on properties. This behavior leads to a new copy of the
property being allocated every time a LMB is added or removed
(i.e. a request to add 100 LMBs creates 100 new copies of the
property). With this update only a single new property is created
when a DLPAR request completes successfully.
