Oscar Salvador 1ca75fa7f1 arch/x86/mm/numa: Do not initialize nodes twice
On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"), NUMA
nodes could be allocated at three different places.

 - numa_register_memblks
 - init_cpu_to_node
 - init_gi_nodes

All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order:

setup_arch
  ...
  x86_numa_init
   numa_init
    numa_register_memblks
  ...
  init_cpu_to_node
   init_memory_less_node
    alloc_node_data
    free_area_init_memoryless_node
  init_gi_nodes
   init_memory_less_node
    alloc_node_data
    free_area_init_memoryless_node

numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have
memory, so it skips over any memoryless node it founds.  Later on, when
we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node() and
init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have that
have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t
struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE.

So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized
numa nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in
free_area_init(), meaning we have a picture like the following:

setup_arch
  x86_numa_init
   numa_init
    numa_register_memblks  <-- allocate non-memoryless node
  x86_init.paging.pagetable_init
   ...
    free_area_init
     free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node
  init_cpu_to_node
   alloc_node_data             <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU
   free_area_init_memoryless_node
  init_gi_nodes
   alloc_node_data             <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator
   free_area_init_memoryless_node

free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but
init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that, so they
go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without checking anything,
meaning we end up allocating twice.

It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where
memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity.

So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online.

Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke down the
chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling
__try_online_node()->register_one_node()->...  and we blow up in
bus_add_device().  As can be seen here:

   kernel_init+0x17/0x150
   ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

The reason is simple, by the time bringup_nonboot_cpus() gets called, we
did not register the node_subsys bus yet, so we crash when
bus_add_device() tries to dereference bus()->p.

The following shows the order of the calls:

kernel_init_freeable
 smp_init
  bringup_nonboot_cpus
   ...
     bus_add_device()      <- we did not register node_subsys yet
 do_basic_setup
  do_initcalls
   postcore_initcall(register_node_type);
    register_node_type
     subsys_system_register
      subsys_register
       bus_register         <- register node_subsys bus

Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because
__try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning we do not
end up calling register_one_node() in the first place.

This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought about
how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this easy fix for
the leaking memory issue.
