hashdist must be set before the first call to alloc_large_system_hash() and
after the nodes present at boot time are initialized, so setting it in the
end of free_area_init() is Ok.

alloc_large_system_hash() is called really early even for !HASH_EARLY
cases. Not sure it's feasible to redistribute the hashes allocated with it
when new node is added.
