Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Revert "spapr: Don't allow memory hotplug to memory less
 nodes"

O-Subject: [RHEL-8.0 qemu-kvm PATCH 2/2] Revert "spapr: Don't allow memory hotplug to memory less nodes"
Bugzilla: 1599593

This reverts commit b556854bd8524c26b8be98ab1bfdf0826831e793.

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.
