[Bugfix] x86, NUMA, ACPI: Online node earlier when doing CPU hot-addition

With typical CPU hot-addition flow on x86, PCI host bridges embedded
in physical processor are always associated with NOMA_NO_NODE, which
may cause sub-optimal performance.
1) Handle CPU hot-addition notification
acpi_processor_add()
acpi_processor_get_info()
acpi_processor_hotadd_init()
acpi_map_lsapic()
1.a) acpi_map_cpu2node()

2) Handle PCI host bridge hot-addition notification
acpi_pci_root_add()
pci_acpi_scan_root()
2.a) if (node != NUMA_NO_NODE && !node_online(node)) node = NUMA_NO_NODE;

3) Handle memory hot-addition notification
acpi_memory_device_add()
acpi_memory_enable_device()
add_memory()
3.a) node_set_online();

4) Online CPUs through sysfs interfaces
cpu_subsys_online()
cpu_up()
try_online_node()
4.a) node_set_online();

So associated node is always in offline state because it is onlined
until step 3.a or 4.a.

We could improve performance by online node at step 1.a. This change
also makes the code symmetric. Nodes are always created when handling
CPU/memory hot-addition events instead of handling user requests from
sysfs interfaces, and are destroyed when handling CPU/memory hot-removal
events.

It also close a race window caused by kmalloc_node(cpu_to_node(cpu)),
which may cause system panic as below.
