[RFC v2 4/4] mm: fallback for offline nodes in alloc_pages_node

[Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>]

alloc_pages_node() now warns when an offline node is passed. Make it fallback
to the local (or nearest) node as if NUMA_NO_NODE nid is passed, but keep the
VM_WARN_ON warning.

David's suggested if(VM_WARN_ON(...)) doesn't work that way, hence this more
involved and awkward syntax.
