[patch 12/20] mm, meminit: always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid

[akpm]

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>
Subject: mm, meminit: always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid

early_pfn_to_nid can return node 0 if a PFN is invalid on machines that
has no node 0.  A machine with only node 1 was observed to crash with the
following message

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000000002a3c8

The problem is that early_page_uninitialised uses the early_pfn_to_nid
helper which returns node 0 for invalid PFNs. No caller of early_pfn_to_nid
cares except early_page_uninitialised. This patch has early_pfn_to_nid
always return a valid node.
