[PATCH 9/11] hugetlb: use only nodes with memory for huge pages

[PATCH 9/11] hugetlb:  use only nodes with memory

Against:  2.6.31-mmotm-090914-0157

Register per node hstate sysfs attributes only for nodes with
memory.  Suggested by David Rientjes.

A subsequent patch will handle adding/removing of per node hstate
sysfs attributes when nodes transition to/from memoryless state
via memory hotplug.

NOTE:  this patch has not been tested with memoryless nodes.
