x86, numa: Fix numa emulation calculation of big nodes

numa=fake=N uses split_nodes_interleave() to partition the system into N
fake nodes.  Each node size must have be a multiple of
FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE, otherwise it is possible to get strange alignments.
Because of this, the remaining memory from each node when rounded to
FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE is consolidated into a number of "big nodes" that are
bigger than the rest.

The calculation of the number of big nodes is incorrect since it is using
a logical AND operator when it should be multiplying the rounded-off
portion of each node with N.
