[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/pseries: fail quicker in dlpar_memory_add_by_ic()

The validation done at the start of dlpar_memory_add_by_ic() is an all
of nothing scenario - if any LMBs in the range is marked as RESERVED we
can fail right away.

We then can remove the 'lmbs_available' var and its check with
'lmbs_to_add' since the whole LMB range was already validated in the
previous step.
