Revert "spapr: Don't allow memory hotplug to memory less nodes"

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.

-         *   and the previously hotplugged memory now ends in the right node.
-         *   This appears as if some memory moved from one node to another.
-         *
-         * So until kernel starts supporting memory hotplug to memory-less
-         * nodes, just prevent such attempts upfront in QEMU.
