Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] powerpc/mm: allow memory hotplug into a memoryless node

Remove the check which prevents us from hotplugging into an empty node.

The original commit b226e4621245 ("[PATCH] powerpc: don't add memory to
empty node/zone"), states that this was intended to be a temporary measure.
It is a workaround for an oops which no longer occurs.
