Subject: [PATCH 24/25] lmb: Make lmb_alloc_try_nid() fallback to LMB_ALLOC_ANYWHERE
lmb_alloc_nid() used to fallback to allocating anywhere by using
lmb_alloc() as a fallback.
However, some of my previous patches limit lmb_alloc() to the region
covered by LMB_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE which is not quite what we want
for lmb_alloc_try_nid().
So we fix it by explicitely using LMB_ALLOC_ANYWHERE.
Not that so far only sparc uses lmb_alloc_nid() and it hasn't been updated
to clamp the accessible zone yet. Thus the temporary "breakage" should have
no effect.
