[PATCH 2/3] powerpc/mm/hash: Avoid multiple HPT resize-ups on memory hotplug

Every time a memory hotplug happens, and the memory limit crosses a 2^n
value, it may be necessary to perform HPT resizing-up, which can take
some time (over 100ms in my tests).

It usually is not an issue, but it can take some time if a lot of memory
is added to a guest with little starting memory:
Adding 256G to a 2GB guest, for example will require 8 HPT resizes.

Perform an HPT resize before memory hotplug, updating HPT to its
final size (considering a successful hotplug), taking the number of
HPT resizes to at most one per memory hotplug action.
