Michael Ellerman debugged an issue w.r.t workqueue changes
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/10/17/352) down to the fact
that we don't setup our per cpu (cpu to node) binding early
enough (in setup_per_cpu_areas like x86 does).
This lead to a problem with workqueue changes where the
cpus seen by for_each_node() in workqueue_init_early() was
different from their binding seen later in
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
node = cpu_to_node(cpu)
...
}
In setup_arch()->initmem_init() we have access to the binding
in numa_cpu_lookup_table()
This patch implements Michael's suggestion of setting up
the per cpu node binding inside of setup_per_cpu_areas()
I did not remove the original setting of these values
from smp_prepare_cpus(). I've also not setup per cpu
mem's via set_cpu_numa_mem() since zonelists are not
yet built by the time we do per cpu setup.
