Add a new member topology_ready to the powerpc machdep_calls

The NUMA hot plug memory routines require the NUMA node to have
been registered via register_one_node() prior to adding memory
to the node.  The powerpc arch registers NUMA nodes during
startup in its topology_init() routine.
Just a question.. what's wrong with just using some later kind of
initcall ? You want to get the memory added as early as possible ?

Cheers,
Ben.
