Subject: [Patch] x86 : set numa_nodes_parsed at acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init

When hot-adding a CPU into my system, the system showed following message
since node_to_cpumask_map[2] was not allocated memory.

Booting Node 2 Processor 32 APIC 0xc0
node_to_cpumask_map[2] NULL
Pid: 0, comm: swapper/32 Tainted: G       A     3.3.5-acd #21
Call Trace:

 [<ffffffff81505263>] smp_callin+0x139/0x1be
 [<ffffffff815052fb>] start_secondary+0x13/0xeb

In my investigation, the root cause is that the bit of node 2 was not set at
numa_nodes_parsed since hot-added cpu was not written in ACPI SRAT Table.
But hot-added memory which is same PXM as the cpu is written in here.

ACPI Spec Rev 5.0 says about ACPI SRAT talbe as follows:
This optional table provides information that allows OSPM to associate
processors and memory ranges, including ranges of memory provided by
hot-added memory devices, with system localities / proximity domains
and clock domains.

So I think the ACPI SRAT Table is not wrong. Thus numa_nodes_parsed should be set
by not only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init
but also acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init for the case.
