Subject: [PATCH v3 4/8] powernv/memtrace: always online added memory blocks

Let's always try to online the re-added memory blocks. In case add_memory()
already onlined the added memory blocks, the first device_online() call
will fail and stop processing the remaining memory blocks.

This avoids manually having to check memhp_auto_online.

Note: PPC always onlines all hotplugged memory directly from the kernel
as well - something that is handled by user space on other
architectures.
