powerpc/pseries: Fix cpu hotplug crash with memoryless nodes
On powerpc systems with shared configurations of CPUs and memory and memoryless nodes at boot, an event ordering problem was observed on a SLES12 build platforms with the hot-add of CPUs to the memoryless nodes. * The most common error occurred when the memory SLAB driver attempted to reference the memoryless node to which a CPU was being added before the kernel had finished initializing all of the data structures for the CPU and exited 'device_online' under DLPAR/hot-add. Normally the memoryless node would be initialized through the call path device_online ... arch_update_cpu_topology ... find_cpu_nid ... try_online_node. This patch ensures that the powerpc node will be initialized as early as possible, even if it was memoryless and CPU-less at the point when we are trying to hot-add a new CPU to it.
