powerpc/numa: Fix multiple bugs in memory_hotplug_max()



memory_hotplug_max() uses hot_add_drconf_memory_max() to get maxmimum
addressable memory by referring to ibm,dyanamic-memory property. There
are three problems with the current approach:

1 hot_add_drconf_memory_max() assumes that ibm,dynamic-memory includes
  all the LMBs of the guest, but that is not true for PowerKVM which
  populates only DR LMBs (LMBs that can be hotplugged/removed) in that
  property.
2 hot_add_drconf_memory_max() multiplies lmb-size with lmb-count to arrive
  at the max possible address. Since ibm,dynamic-memory doesn't include
  RMA LMBs, the address thus obtained will be less than the actual max
  address. For example, if max possible memory size is 32G, with lmb-size
  of 256MB there can be 127 LMBs in ibm,dynamic-memory (1 LMB for RMA
  which won't be present here).  hot_add_drconf_memory_max() would then
  return the max addressable memory as 127 * 256MB = 31.75GB, the max
  address should have been 32G which is what ibm,lrdr-capacity shows.
3 In PowerKVM, there can be a gap between the end of boot time RAM and
  beginning of hotplug RAM area. So just multiplying lmb-count with
  lmb-size will not provide the correct max possible address for PowerKVM.

This patch fixes 1 by using ibm,lrdr-capacity property to return the max
addressable memory whenever the property is present. Then it fixes 2 & 3
by fetching the address of the last LMB in ibm,dynamic-memory property.
