Yeah, it's sched/numa since that's what introduced numa_init().  It does 
for_each_node() for each node and does a kmalloc_node() even though that 
node may not be online.  Slub ends up passing this node to the page 
allocator through alloc_pages_exact_node().  CONFIG_DEBUG_VM would have 
caught this and your config confirms its not enabled.

sched/numa either needs a memory hotplug notifier or it needs to pass 
NUMA_NO_NODE for nodes that aren't online.  Until we get the former, the 
following should fix it.


sched, numa: Allocate node_queue on any node for offline nodes

struct node_queue must be allocated with NUMA_NO_NODE for nodes that are 
not (yet) online, otherwise the page allocator has a bad zonelist.
