[PATCH v3] powerpc/kexec_file: use current CPU info while setting up FDT

Hi Sourabh,

Thanks for fixing this.

Generating an FDT based on of_root (the latest unflattened device-tree) 
should be ideal as something similar to what is done for /cpus here 
applies to /memory@* & /ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodes too 
(probably also applies to other nodes like pci@* ?). But IIUC, there is 
no API in the kernel currently that converts an unflattened device-tree 
(struct device_node *of_root) to FDT and having one might have it's own 
challenges.

Should pursue fixing /memory@* and other nodes for kexec as follow-up to 
this patch either with the unflattened DT to FDT approach or otherwise...

Fow now, this should be a good stop-gap fix for /cpus node case.
