memory hotplug: fix early allocation handling
Trying to add memory via add_memory() from within an initcall function
results in
bootmem alloc of 163840 bytes failed!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory
This is caused by zone_wait_table_init() which uses system_state to decide
if it should use the bootmem allocator or not.
When initcalls are handled the system_state is still SYSTEM_BOOTING but
the bootmem allocator doesn't work anymore. So the allocation will fail.
To fix this use slab_is_available() instead as indicator like we do it
everywhere else.
