Impact: fix current->cpus_allowed overwriting.

on one AMD Fam10h SMP system:
when checking numactl output, when acpi=off
found output is not right.

# numactl --show
policy: default
preferred node: current
physcpubind: 5 7 10 11 12 13
cpubind: 1 2 3
nodebind: 1 2 3
membind: 0 1 2 3

it turns out in powernowk8_cpu_init there is path ( ACPI is off or _PSS is not there)
it will try to overwrite current->cpus_allowed with uninitialized oldmask.

|    cpumask: convert shared_cpu_map in acpi_processor* structs to cpumask_var_t


need to get oldmask early.
also remove some wrong warning when acpi is disabled.
and don't call exit_acpi if _PSS is not found.

with patch get numactl correct.

# numactl --show
policy: default
preferred node: current
physcpubind: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
cpubind: 0 1 2 3
nodebind: 0 1 2 3
membind: 0 1 2 3
