x86: fix system without memory on node0

Browse Source 
Jack found a boot crash on a system which doesn't have memory on node0.

It turns out with recent per_cpu changes, node_number for BSP will always
be 0, and it is not consistent to cpu_to_node() that might set it to a
different (nearer) node already.

aka when numa_set_node() for node0 is called early before per_cpu area is
setup:

two places touched that per_cpu(node_number,):

1. in cpu/common.c::cpu_init() and it is not for BP
| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
|        if (cpu != 0 && percpu_read(node_number) == 0 &&
|            cpu_to_node(cpu) != NUMA_NO_NODE)
|                percpu_write(node_number, cpu_to_node(cpu));
| #endif
for BP: traps_init ==> cpu_init
for AP: start_secondary ==> cpu_init

2. cpu/intel.c or amd.c::srat_detect_node via numa_set_node()
for BP: check_bugs ==> identify_boot_cpu ==> identify_cpu()
	 that is rather later before numa_node_id() is used for BP...
for AP: start_secondary => smp_callin => smp_store_cpu_info() =>
	=> identify_secondary_cpu => identify_cpu()

so try to set that for BP earlier in setup_per_cpu_areas(), and
don't bother to set that for APs there (it will be updated later
and will be used later)

(and don't mess the 0 before the copying BP per_cpu data to APs)
