This reverts commit 89a51df5ab1d38b257300b8ac940bbac3bb0eb9b.

The function eeh_add_device_early() is used to perform EEH initialization in
devices added later on the system, like in hotplug/DLPAR scenarios. Since the
commit 89a51df5ab1d ("powerpc/eeh: Fix crash in eeh_add_device_early() on Cell")
a new check was introduced in this function - Cell has no EEH capabilities
which led to kernel oops if hotplug was performed, so checking for
eeh_enabled() was introduced to avoid the issue.

However, in architectures that EEH is present like pSeries or PowerNV, we might
reach a case in which no PCI devices are present on boot time and so EEH is not
initialized. Then, if a device is added via DLPAR for example,
eeh_add_device_early() fails because eeh_enabled() is false, and EEH end up
not being enabled at all.

This reverts the aforementioned patch since a new verification was introduced by
the commit d91dafc02f42 ("powerpc/eeh: Delay probing EEH device during hotplug")
and so the original Cell issue does not happen anymore.
