and nr_cpus set to 4. The underlying reason is tha the device is bound
to node 2 which doesn't have any memory and init_cpu_to_node only
initializes memory-less nodes for possible cpus which nr_cpus restrics.
This in turn means that proper zonelists are not allocated and the page
allocator blows up.

Fix the issue by reworking how x86 initializes the memory less nodes.
The current implementation is hacked into the workflow and it doesn't
allow any flexibility. There is init_memory_less_node called for each
offline node that has a CPU as already mentioned above. This will make
sure that we will have a new online node without any memory. Much later
on we build a zone list for this node and things seem to work, except
they do not (e.g. due to nr_cpus). Not to mention that it doesn't really
make much sense to consider an empty node as online because we just
consider this node whenever we want to iterate nodes to use and empty
node is obviously not the best candidate. This is all just too fragile.

The new code relies on the arch specific initialization to allocate all
possible NUMA nodes (including memory less) - numa_register_memblks in
this case. Generic code then initializes both zonelists (__build_all_zonelists)
and allocator internals (free_area_init_nodes) for all non-null pgdats
rather than online ones.

For the x86 specific part also do not make new node online in alloc_node_data
because this is too early to know that. numa_register_memblks knows that
a node has some memory so it can make the node online appropriately.
init_memory_less_node hack can be safely removed altogether now.
