sparc64: use latency groups to improve add_node_ranges speed
add_node_ranges() takes 2.6s - 3.6s per 1T of boot time. On machine with 6T memory it takes 15.4s, on 32T it would take 82s-115s of boot time. This function sets NUMA ids for memory blocks, and scans the whole memory a page at a time to do so. But, we could use values in latency groups mask and match to determine the boundaries without checking every single page. With the fix the add_node_ranges() time is reduced from 15.4s down to 0.2s on machine with 6T memory.
