[POWERPC] Make sure device node type/name is not NULL on hot-added nodes
Our device-tree unflattening code makes sure the name and type fields of a device-node are not NULL. However, the code for dynamically adding devices nodes which is used for pSeries hotplug for example didn't do it, potentially causing crashes in some code that assume it can always do things like strcmp on those.
