[POWERPC] Update lmb data structures for hotplug memory add/remove
The powerpc kernel maintains information about logical memory blocks
in the lmb.memory structure, which is initialized and updated at boot
time, but not when memory is added or removed while the kernel is
running.
This adds a hotplug memory notifier which updates lmb.memory when
memory is added or removed. This information is useful for eHEA
driver to find out the memory layout and holes.
NOTE: No special locking is needed for lmb_add() and lmb_remove().
Calls to these are serialized by caller. (pSeries_reconfig_chain).
