mm, memory_hotplug: do not clear numa_node association after hot_remove

Per-cpu numa_node provides a default node for each possible cpu.  The
association gets initialized during the boot when the architecture
specific code explores cpu->NUMA affinity.  When the whole NUMA node is
removed though we are clearing this association

try_offline_node
  check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node
    unmap_cpu_on_node
      numa_clear_node
        numa_set_node(cpu, NUMA_NO_NODE)

This means that whoever calls cpu_to_node for a cpu associated with such a
node will get NUMA_NO_NODE.  This is problematic for two reasons.  First
it is fragile because __alloc_pages_node would simply blow up on an
out-of-bound access.  We have encountered this when loading kvm module

on an older kernel but the code is basically the same in the current Linus
tree as well.  alloc_vmcs_cpu could use alloc_pages_nodemask which would
recognize NUMA_NO_NODE and use alloc_pages_node which would translate it
to numa_mem_id but that is wrong as well because it would use a cpu
affinity of the local CPU which might be quite far from the original node.
It is also reasonable to expect that cpu_to_node will provide a sane
value and there might be many more callers like that.

The second problem is that __register_one_node relies on cpu_to_node to
properly associate cpus back to the node when it is onlined.  We do not
want to lose that link as there is no arch independent way to get it from
the early boot time AFAICS.

Drop the whole check_and_unmap_cpu_on_node machinery and keep the
association to fix both issues.  The NODE_DATA(nid) is not deallocated so
it will stay in place and if anybody wants to allocate from that node then
a fallback node will be used.

Thanks to Vlastimil Babka for his live system debugging skills that helped
debugging the issue.
