platform device helper routines won't update the NUMA distance table
while creating a platform device, even if the device is present on
a NUMA node that doesn't have memory or CPU. This is especially true
for pmem devices. If the target node of the pmem device is not online, we
find the nearest online node to the device and associate the pmem
device with that online node. To find the nearest online node, we should
have the numa distance table updated correctly. Update the distance
information during the device probe.
distance_lookup_table value for distance_ref_points_depth = 2 before and after
fix is below
node 3 distance depth 0 - 0
node 3 distance depth 1 - 0
node 4 distance depth 0 - 4
node 4 distance depth 1 - 2
node 5 distance depth 0 - 5
node 5 distance depth 1 - 1
after fix
node 3 distance depth 0 - 3
node 3 distance depth 1 - 1
node 4 distance depth 0 - 4
node 4 distance depth 1 - 2
node 5 distance depth 0 - 5
node 5 distance depth 1 - 1
Without the fix, the nearest numa node to the pmem device will be picked as 4.
After the fix, we get the correct numa node which is 5.

node is not online")
