sparsemem: ensure we initialise the node mapping for SPARSEMEM_STATIC

Browse Source 
Booting SPARSEMEM on NUMA systems trips a BUG in page_alloc.c:

	Initializing HighMem for node 0 (00038000:00100000)
	Initializing HighMem for node 1 (00100000:001ffe00)
	------------[ cut here ]------------
	kernel BUG at /home/apw/git/linux-2.6/mm/page_alloc.c:456!
	[...]

This occurs because the section to node id mapping is not being
setup correctly during init under SPARSEMEM_STATIC, leading to an
attempt to free pages from all nodes into the zones on node 0.

When the zone_table[] was removed in the following commit, a new
section to node mapping table was introduced:

    commit 89689ae7f9
    [PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[]

That conversion inadvertantly only initialised the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.  Ensure we initialise the node mapping in
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.
