sched: Fix crash in sched_init_numa()

The following PowerPC commit:

   c118baf80256 ("arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c: do not allocate bootmem memory for non existing nodes")

avoids allocating bootmem memory for non existent nodes.

But when DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y is enabled, my powerNV system failed to boot
because in sched_init_numa(), cpumask_or() operation was done on
unallocated nodes.

Fix that by making cpumask_or() operation only on existing nodes.

[ Tested with and w/o DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y on x86 and PowerPC. ]

Hello Greg,
Above commit fixes the debug kernel crash in 4.4 kernel [ when
DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y to be precise]. This is a regression in 4.4 from
4.3 and should be ideally present in 4.4-stable.

Could you please pull in this change.?
