arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c: do not allocate bootmem memory for non existing nodes
With the setup_nr_nodes(), we have already initialized node_possible_map. So it is safe to use for_each_node here. There are many places in the kernel that use hardcoded 'for' loop with nr_node_ids, because all other architectures have numa nodes populated serially. That should be reason we had maintained the same for powerpc. But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily allocate memory for non existent numa nodes. For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and we allocate memory for nodes 2-14. This patch we allocate memory for only existing numa nodes. The patch is boot tested on a 4 node tuleta, confirming with printks that it works as expected.
