Up to this point, the operations have only been added to 'dlpar_delayed_list'.
This function separates the execution of the CPU readd and Memory readd
operations from the execution of 'migration store'.  If we walk the list
here, then we add the execution time of all of the readd operations to
the time of 'migration store'.  This is not a large problem in small
systems like we have in the Kernel Team.  This may be a major issue though,
for production SAP HANA systems where we may be readding thousands of pages
of memory.  By pushing the execution of the CPU readd and Memory readd
operations after, and separate, from the execution of 'migration store',
we do not delay the end of the operation or the return of the completion
status to an associated HMC.
