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 This will harm performance since there is an increase in off node accesses. In order to fix the bug, the patch introduces early_numa_node_init() which is called after smp_prepare_boot_cpu() in start_kernel. early_numa_node_init will initialize the "numa_node" as soon as the early_cpu_to_node() is ready, before the cpu_to_node() is called at the first time.
