This patchset intends to reduce time needed for processing memory
hotplug/hotunplug in hash guests.

The first one, makes sure guests with pagesize over 4k don't need to
go through HPT resize-downs after memory hotplug.

The second and third patches make hotplug / hotunplug perform a single
HPT resize per operation, instead of one for each shift change, or one
for each LMB in case of resize-down error.

Why haven't the same mechanism used for both memory hotplug and hotunplug?
They both have different requirements:

Memory hotplug causes (usually) HPT resize-ups, which are fine happening
at the start of hotplug, but resize-ups should not ever be disabled, as
other mechanisms may try to increase memory, hitting issues with a HPT
that is too small.

Memory hotunplug causes HPT resize-downs, which can be disabled (HPT will
just remain larger for a while), but need to happen at the end of an
hotunplug operation. If we want to batch it, we need to disable
resize-downs and perform it only at the end.

Tests done with this patchset in the same machine / guest config:
Starting memory: 129GB, DIMM: 256GB
Before patchset: hotplug = 710s, hotunplug = 621s.
After patchset: hotplug  = 21s, hotunplug = 100s.

Any feedback will be appreciated!

Changes since v1:
- Atomic used to disable resize was replaced by a mutex
- Removed wrappers, testing for !radix directly in hot(un)plug routine
- Added bounds to HPT resize loop
- Removed batching from dlpar_memory_*_by_index, as it adds a single LMB
