[PATCH 3/8] Add all memory via sysfs probe interface at once

[Nathan Fontenot]

When doing memory hot add via the 'probe' interface in sysfs we do not
need to loop through and add memory one section at a time. I think this
was originally done for powerpc, but is not needed. This patch removes
the loop and just calls add_memory for all of the memory to be added.
