[PATCH v1 1/3] powerpc/mm/radix: Create separate mappings for hot-plugged memory

Memory that gets hot-plugged _during_ boot (and not the memory
that gets plugged in after boot), is mapped with 1G mappings
and will undergo splitting when it is unplugged. The splitting
code has a few issues:
1. Recursive locking
--------------------
Memory unplug path takes cpu_hotplug_lock and calls stop_machine()
for splitting the mappings. However stop_machine() takes
cpu_hotplug_lock again causing deadlock.
2. BUG: sleeping function called from in_atomic() context
---------------------------------------------------------
Memory unplug path (remove_pagetable) takes init_mm.page_table_lock
spinlock and later calls stop_machine() which does wait_for_completion()
3. Bad unlock unbalance
-----------------------
Memory unplug path takes init_mm.page_table_lock spinlock and calls
stop_machine(). The stop_machine thread function runs in a different
thread context (migration thread) which tries to release and reaquire
ptl. Releasing ptl from a different thread than which acquired it
causes bad unlock unbalance.
These problems can be avoided if we avoid mapping hot-plugged memory
with 1G mapping, thereby removing the need for splitting them during
unplug. Hence, during radix init, identify the hot-plugged memory region
and create separate mappings for each LMB so that they don't get mapped
with 1G mappings. The identification of hot-plugged memory has become
possible after the commit b6eca183e23e ("powerpc/kernel: Enables memory
hot-remove after reboot on pseries guests").
To create separate mappings for every LMB in the hot-plugged
region, we need lmb-size for which we use memory_block_size_bytes().
Since this is early init time code, the machine type isn't probed yet
and hence memory_block_size_bytes() would return the default LMB size
as 16MB. Hence we end up issuing more number of mapping requests
than earlier.
