[PATCH v2 04/17] arm64: numa: simplify dummy_numa_init()

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt at linux.ibm.com>

dummy_numa_init() loops over memblock.memory and passes nid=0 to
numa_add_memblk() which essentially wraps memblock_set_node(). However,
memblock_set_node() can cope with entire memory span itself, so the loop
over memblock.memory regions is redundant.

Using a single call to memblock_set_node() rather than a loop also fixes an
issue with a buggy ACPI firmware in which the SRAT table covers some but
not all of the memory in the EFI memory map.

Jonathan Cameron says:

  This issue can be easily triggered by having an SRAT table which fails
  to cover all elements of the EFI memory map.

  This firmware error is detected and a warning printed. e.g.
  "NUMA: Warning: invalid memblk node 64 [mem 0x240000000-0x27fffffff]"
  At that point we fall back to dummy_numa_init().

  However, the failed ACPI init has left us with our memblocks all broken
  up as we split them when trying to assign them to NUMA nodes.

  We then iterate over the memblocks and add them to node 0.

  numa_add_memblk() calls memblock_set_node() which merges regions that
  were previously split up during the earlier attempt to add them to different
  nodes during parsing of SRAT.

  This means elements are moved in the memblock array and we can end up
  in a different memblock after the call to numa_add_memblk().
  Result is:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000003a40
  Mem abort info:
    ESR = 0x96000004
    EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
    SET = 0, FnV = 0
    EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
  Data abort info:
    ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004
    CM = 0, WnR = 0
  [0000000000003a40] user address but active_mm is swapper
  Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

  ...

  Call trace:
    sparse_init_nid+0x5c/0x2b0
    sparse_init+0x138/0x170
    bootmem_init+0x80/0xe0
    setup_arch+0x2a0/0x5fc
    start_kernel+0x8c/0x648

Replace the loop with a single call to memblock_set_node() to the entire
memory.
