[PATCH] powerpc/mm/numa: skip NUMA_NO_NODE onlining in parse_numa_properties()

Executing node_set_online() when nid = NUMA_NO_NODE results in an
undefined behavior. node_set_online() will call node_set_state(), into
__node_set(), into set_bit(), and since NUMA_NO_NODE is -1 we'll end up
doing a negative shift operation inside
arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h. This potential UB was detected
running a kernel with CONFIG_UBSAN.
The behavior was introduced by commit 10f78fd0dabb ("powerpc/numa: Fix a
regression on memoryless node 0"), where the check for nid > 0 was
removed to fix a problem that was happening with nid = 0, but the result
is that now we're trying to online NUMA_NO_NODE nids as well.
Checking for nid >= 0 will allow node 0 to be onlined while avoiding
this UB with NUMA_NO_NODE.
