Nathan Fontenot b2d3b5ee66 powerpc/pseries: Track LMB nid instead of using device tree
When removing memory we need to remove the memory from the node
it was added to instead of looking up the node it should be in
in the device tree.

During testing we have seen scenarios where the affinity for a
LMB changes due to a partition migration or PRRN event. In these
cases the node the LMB exists in may not match the node the device
tree indicates it belongs in. This can lead to a system crash
when trying to DLPAR remove the LMB after a migration or PRRN
event. The current code looks up the node in the device tree to
remove the LMB from, the crash occurs when we try to offline this
node and it does not have any data, i.e. node_data[nid] == NULL.

To resolve this we need to track the node a LMB belongs to when
it is added to the system so we can remove it from that node instead
of the node that the device tree indicates it should belong to.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
