[PATCH 2/3] rfi-flush: Make it possible to call setup_rfi_flush() again

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe at ellerman.id.au>

For PowerVM migration we want to be able to call setup_rfi_flush()
again after we've migrated the partition.

To support that we need to check that we're not trying to allocate the
fallback flush area after memblock has gone away. If so we just fail,
we don't support migrating from a patched to an unpatched machine. Or
we do support it, but there will be no RFI flush enabled on the
destination.
