NUMA_NO_NODE.

Eek, the nid shouldn't be -1 yet, though, for cpu hotplug since this 
should be called at CPU_DYING level and migrate_tasks() still sees a valid 
cpu.

On x86, cpumask_of_node() is always guaranteed to return a valid cpumask 
after boot so presumably this is a problem in some non-x86 arch code and 
isn't actually a sched problem.
