[RFC Patch V1 28/30] mm: Update _mem_id_[] for every possible CPU when memory configuration changes

[Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@linux.intel.com>]

Current kernel only updates _mem_id_[cpu] for onlined CPUs when memory
configuration changes. So kernel may allocate memory from remote node
for a CPU if the CPU is still in absent or offline state even if the
node associated with the CPU has already been onlined. This patch tries
to improve performance by updating _mem_id_[cpu] for each possible CPU
when memory configuration changes, thus kernel could always allocate
from local node once the node is onlined.

We check node_online(cpu_to_node(cpu)) because:
1) local_memory_node(nid) needs to access NODE_DATA(nid)
2) try_offline_node(nid) just zeroes out NODE_DATA(nid) instead of free it
