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

When DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS enabled, 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 on x86 and powerpc ]
