PATCH v2 1/1 x86 : set numa_nodes_parsed at acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init

When hot-adding a CPU, the system outputs following messages since node_to_cpumask_map[2] was not allocated memory.

Booting Node 2 Processor 32 APIC 0xc0
node_to_cpumask_map[2] NULL
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/32 Tainted: G A 3.3.5-acd #21

Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff81048845>] debug_cpumask_set_cpu+0x155/0x160
 [<ffffffff8105e28a>] ? add_timer_on+0xaa/0x120

 [<ffffffff81505263>] smp_callin+0x139/0x1be
 [<ffffffff815052fb>] start_secondary+0x13/0xeb

The reason is that the bit of node 2 was not set at numa_nodes_parsed. numa_nodes_parsed is set by only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init. Thus even if hot-added memory which is same PXM as hot-added CPU is written in ACPI SRAT Table, if the hot-added CPU is not written in ACPI SRAT table, numa_nodes_parsed is not set.

But according to ACPI Spec Rev 5.0, it says about ACPI SRAT table as follows:
This optional table provides information that allows OSPM to associate processors and memory ranges, including ranges of memory provided by hot-added memory devices, with system localities / proximity domains and clock domains.

It means that ACPI SRAT table only provides information for CPUs present at boot time and for memory including hot-added memory. So hot-added memory is written in ACPI SRAT table, but hot-added CPU is not written in it. Thus numa_nodes_parsed should be set by not only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init but also acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init for the case.

Additionally, if system has cpuless memory node, acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init cannot set numa_nodes_parseds since these functions cannot find cpu description for the node. In this case, numa_nodes_parsed needs to be set by acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init.
