It was found that the following warning message could be printed out when
booting the kernel on PowerPC systems that support LPAR:

The warning is printed in memblock_alloc_internal() because the slab
has been initialized when the initcalls are being processed. To
avoid the warning, change alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() call in
pseries_cpu_hotplug_init() to alloc_cpumask_var() instead. Also
change cpumask_or() to cpumask_copy() or we will have to use
zalloc_cpumask_var().
