Subject: mm: fix panic in __alloc_pages

There is a kernel panic caused by pcpu_alloc_pages() passing offlined and
uninitialized node to alloc_pages_node() leading to panic by NULL
dereferencing uninitialized NODE_DATA(nid).

 CPU2 has been hot-added

Panic can be easily reproduced by disabling udev rule for automatic
onlining hot added CPU followed by CPU with memoryless node (NUMA node
with CPU only) hot add.

Hot adding CPU and memoryless node does not bring the node to online
state.  Memoryless node will be onlined only during the onlining its CPU.

Node can be in one of the following states:
1. not present.(nid == NUMA_NO_NODE)
2. present, but offline (nid > NUMA_NO_NODE, node_online(nid) == 0,
				NODE_DATA(nid) == NULL)
3. present and online (nid > NUMA_NO_NODE, node_online(nid) > 0,
				NODE_DATA(nid) != NULL)

Percpu code is doing allocations for all possible CPUs.  The issue happens
when it serves hot added but not yet onlined CPU when its node is in 2nd
state.  This node is not ready to use, fallback to numa_mem_id().
