fixed one here. I found another bug in node hotplug and will post
a fix later.

With sparsemem, page_cgroup_init scans pfn from 0 to max_pfn.
But this may scan a pfn which is not on any node and can access
memmap which is not initialized.

This makes page_cgroup_init() for SPARSEMEM node aware and remove
a code to get nid from page->flags. (Then, we'll use valid NID
always.)
