[PATCH] powerpc/numa: Associate numa node to its cpu earlier

powerpc is the only platform that do not rely on
cpu_up()->try_online_node() to bring up a numa node,
and special cases it, instead, deep in its own machinery:

dlpar_online_cpu
 find_and_online_cpu_nid
  try_online_node

This should not be needed, but the thing is that the try_online_node()
from cpu_up() will not apply on the right node, because cpu_to_node()
will return the old mapping numa<->cpu that gets set on boot stage
for all possible cpus.

That can be seen easily if we try to print out the numa node passed
to try_online_node() in cpu_up().

The thing is that the numa<->cpu mapping does not get updated till a much
later stage in start_secondary:

start_secondary:
 set_numa_node(numa_cpu_lookup_table[cpu])

But we do not really care, as we already now the
CPU <-> NUMA associativity back in find_and_online_cpu_nid(),
so let us make use of that and set the proper numa<->cpu mapping,
so cpu_to_node() in cpu_up() returns the right node and
try_online_node() can do its work.
