I agree, this doesn't feel like something we should be avoiding in the
caller of kzalloc_node().
I would not expect kzalloc_node() to return memory that's offline, no
matter what node we told it to allocate from. I could imagine it
returning failure, or returning memory from a node that *is* online,
but returning a pointer to offline memory seems broken.
Are we putting memory that's offline in the free list? I don't know
where to look to figure this out.
