[PATCH 1/4] mm: Check for node_online in node_present_pages

Calling a kmalloc_node on a possible node which is not yet onlined can
lead to panic. Currently node_present_pages() doesn't verify the node is
online before accessing the pgdat for the node. However pgdat struct may
not be available resulting in a crash.

Fix this by verifying the node is online before accessing the pgdat
structure. Fix the same for node_spanned_pages() too.
