John Allen cb5490a5ee drivers/base/memory.c: fix kernel warning during memory hotplug on ppc64
Fix a bug where a kernel warning is triggered when performing a memory
hotplug on ppc64.  This warning may also occur on any architecture that
uses the memory_probe_store interface.

  WARNING: at drivers/base/memory.c:200

The warning is triggered because there is a udev rule that automatically
tries to online memory after it has been added.  The udev rule varies
from distro to distro, but will generally look something like:

  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online"

On any architecture that uses memory_probe_store to reserve memory, the
udev rule will be triggered after the first section of the block is
reserved and will subsequently attempt to online the entire block,
interrupting the memory reservation process and causing the warning.
This patch modifies memory_probe_store to add a block of memory with a
single call to add_memory as opposed to looping through and adding each
section individually.  A single call to add_memory is protected by the
mem_hotplug mutex which will prevent the udev rule from onlining memory
until the reservation of the entire block is complete.
