[PATCH] Partial revert of 91a00302, set new_mem_def back to 0

[Mel Gorman]

On the suggestion of Paul McKerras, I tried the following patch. It partially
reverts a change made by commit 91a00302 by setting new_mem_def back to 0.
Once applied, IBM pSeries with old firmware do not corrupt their NVRAM early
in boot.

I do not know why this change fixes the problem. A structure like this is
also in arch/powerpc/boot/addnote.c but it's not clear if it needs to be
similarly changed or not. Paul?
