[PATCH] mm: check for memory's node later during boot

register_mem_sect_under_nodem() is checking the memory block's node id only
if the system state is "SYSTEM_BOOTING". On PowerPC, the memory blocks are
registered while the system state is "SYSTEM_SCHEDULING", the one before
SYSTEM_RUNNING.

The consequence on PowerPC guest with interleaved memory node's ranges is
that some memory block could be assigned to multiple nodes on sysfs. This
lately prevents some memory hot-plug and hot-unplug to succeed because
links are remaining. Such a panic is then displayed:

To prevent this multiple links, make the node checking done for states
prior to SYSTEM_RUNNING.
