[LMB] Add lmb_alloc_nid()

A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified
NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails.

The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the
allocator.  It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer
'this_nid'.

It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start',
and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory
assosciated with 'nid' ends.

This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just
about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might
not be working yet.

This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also
it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted
"careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c

If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers,
it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.
