[PATCH] NUMA: Early use of cpu_to_node() returns 0 instead of the correct node id

During the kernel booting, the generic cpu_to_node() is called too early in
arm64, powerpc and riscv when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled.

There are at least four places in the common code where
the generic cpu_to_node() is called before it is initialized:
	   1.) early_trace_init()         in kernel/trace/trace.c
	   2.) sched_init()               in kernel/sched/core.c
	   3.) init_sched_fair_class()    in kernel/sched/fair.c
	   4.) workqueue_init_early()     in kernel/workqueue.c

In order to fix the bug, the patch changes generic cpu_to_node to
function pointer, and export it for kernel modules.
Introduce smp_prepare_boot_cpu_start() to wrap the original
smp_prepare_boot_cpu(), and set cpu_to_node with early_cpu_to_node.
Introduce smp_prepare_cpus_done() to wrap the original smp_prepare_cpus(),
and set the cpu_to_node to formal _cpu_to_node().
