I am getting the following error on my system booting with this patch.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

I think the loop needs to go back to initializing all possibe cpus instead of
only the present cpus. We can add a check for present cpus in numa_setup_cpu()
to avoid printing the WARN_ON() for cpus that are not present, something like
the following...
