During my test on some AMD machine, with kexec -l nr_cpus=x option, the
kernel failed to bootup, because some node's data struct can not be allocated,
e.g, on x86, initialized by init_cpu_to_node()->init_memory_less_node(). But
device->numa_node info is used as preferred_nid param for
__alloc_pages_nodemask(), which causes NULL reference
ac->zonelist = node_zonelist(preferred_nid, gfp_mask);
This patch tries to fix the issue by falling back to the first online node,
when encountering such corner case.
Notes about the crashing info:
-1. kexec -l with nr_cpus=4
-2. system info
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0,8,16,24
NUMA node1 CPU(s): 2,10,18,26
NUMA node2 CPU(s): 4,12,20,28
NUMA node3 CPU(s): 6,14,22,30
NUMA node4 CPU(s): 1,9,17,25
NUMA node5 CPU(s): 3,11,19,27
NUMA node6 CPU(s): 5,13,21,29
NUMA node7 CPU(s): 7,15,23,31
-3. panic stack

commit 0d76bcc960e6057750fcf556b65da13f8bbdfd2b

Date: Tue Nov 13 08:38:17 2018 -0600
Revert "ACPI/PCI: Pay attention to device-specific _PXM node values"
This bug is covered and not triggered on my test AMD machine.
But it should still exist since dev->numa_node info can be set by other
method on other archs when using nr_cpus param
