SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 4/5] powerpc/mm: restore top-down allocation when using movable_node

Right. To be clear, the background info I put in the commit log refers
to x86, where the SRAT can describe movable nodes which exist at boot.
They're trying to avoid allocations from those nodes before they've been
identified.

On power, movable nodes can only exist via hotplug, so that scenario
can't happen. We can immediately go back to top-down allocation. That is
the missing call being added in the patch.
