Subject: [Patch V3 7/9] x86, numa: Kill useless code to improve code readability

According to x86 boot sequence, early_cpu_to_node() always returns
NUMA_NO_NODE when called from numa_init(). So kill useless code
to improve code readability.

Related code sequence as below:
x86_cpu_to_node_map is set until step 2, so it is still the default
value (NUMA_NO_NODE) when accessed at step 1.

start_kernel()
	setup_arch()
		initmem_init()
			x86_numa_init()
				numa_init()
					early_cpu_to_node()
1)						return early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map)[cpu];
		acpi_boot_init();
		sfi_init()
		x86_dtb_init()
			generic_processor_info()
				early_per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_apicid, cpu) = apicid;
		init_cpu_to_node()
			numa_set_node(cpu, node);
2)				per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;

	rest_init()
		kernel_init()
			smp_init()
				native_cpu_up()
					start_secondary()
						numa_set_node()
							per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
