[PATCHv4 2/2] powerpc/pseries: update device tree before ejecting hotplug uevents

A bug is observed on pseries by taking the following steps on rhel:
-1. drmgr -c mem -r -q 5
-2. echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

And then, the failure looks like:
kdump: saving to /sysroot//var/crash/127.0.0.1-2020-01-16-02:06:14/

kdump: saving vmcore failed

* Root cause *
  After analyzing, it turns out that in the current implementation,
when hot-removing lmb, the KOBJ_REMOVE event ejects before the dt updating as
the code __remove_memory() comes before drmem_update_dt().
So in kdump kernel, when read_from_oldmem() resorts to
pSeries_lpar_hpte_insert() to install hpte, but fails with -2 due to
non-exist pfn. And finally, low_hash_fault() raise SIGBUS to process, as it
can be observed "Bus error"

>From a viewpoint of listener and publisher, the publisher notifies the
listener before data is ready.  This introduces a problem where udev
launches kexec-tools (due to KOBJ_REMOVE) and loads a stale dt before
updating. And in capture kernel, makedumpfile will access the memory based
on the stale dt info, and hit a SIGBUS error due to an un-existed lmb.

* Fix *
This bug is introduced by commit 063b8b1251fd
("powerpc/pseries/memory-hotplug: Only update DT once per memory DLPAR
request"), which tried to combine all the dt updating into one.

To fix this issue, meanwhile not to introduce a quadratic runtime
complexity by the model:
  dlpar_memory_add_by_count
    for_each_drmem_lmb             <--
      dlpar_add_lmb
        drmem_update_dt(_v1|_v2)
          for_each_drmem_lmb       <--
The dt should still be only updated once, and just before the last memory
online/offline event is ejected to user space. Achieve this by tracing the
num of lmb added or removed.
