Revert "spapr: Don't allow memory hotplug to memory less nodes"

This reverts commit b556854bd8.

Leave change @node type from uint32_t to to int from reverted commit
because node < 0 is always false.

Note that implementing capability or some trick to detect if guest
kernel does not support hot-add to memory: this returns previous
behavour where memory added to first non-empty node.

/*
* Currently PowerPC kernel doesn't allow hot-adding memory to
* memory-less node, but instead will silently add the memory
* to the first node that has some memory. This causes two
* unexpected behaviours for the user.
*
* - Memory gets hotplugged to a different node than what the user
* specified.
* - Since pc-dimm subsystem in QEMU still thinks that memory belongs
* to memory-less node, a reboot will set things accordingly
* and the previously hotplugged memory now ends in the right node.
* This appears as if some memory moved from one node to another.
*
* So until kernel starts supporting memory hotplug to memory-less
* nodes, just prevent such attempts upfront in QEMU.
