Subject: [PATCH 3.16 001/204] tile: array underflow in setup_maxnodemem()

3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 637f23abca87d26e091e0d6647ec878d97d2c6cd upstream.

My static checker correctly complains that we should have a lower bound
on "node" to prevent an array underflow.

Fixes: 867e359b97c9 ("arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.")
