sched/numa: Fix NUMA topology for systems with CPU-less nodes

The NUMA topology parameters (sched_numa_topology_type,
sched_domains_numa_levels, and sched_max_numa_distance, etc.)
identified by scheduler may be wrong for systems with CPU-less nodes.

For example, the ACPI SLIT of a system with CPU-less persistent
memory (Intel Optane DCPMM) nodes is as follows,

[000h 0000   4]                    Signature : "SLIT"    [System Locality Information Table]

[024h 0036   8]                   Localities : 0000000000000004

[038h 0056   4]                 Locality   3 : 1C 11 1C 0A

While the `numactl -H` output is as follows,

available: 4 nodes (0-3)

node 3 cpus:
node 3 size: 253952 MB
node 3 free: 253951 MB
node distances:
node   0   1   2   3
  0:  10  21  17  28
  1:  21  10  28  17
  2:  17  28  10  28
  3:  28  17  28  10

In this system, there are only 2 sockets.  In each memory controller,
both DRAM and PMEM DIMMs are installed.  Although the physical NUMA
topology is simple, the logical NUMA topology becomes a little
complex.  Because both the distance(0, 1) and distance (1, 3) are less
than the distance (0, 3), it appears that node 1 sits between node 0
and node 3.  And the whole system appears to be a glueless mesh NUMA
topology type.  But it's definitely not, there is even no CPU in node 3.

This isn't a practical problem now yet.  Because the PMEM nodes (node
2 and node 3 in example system) are offlined by default during system
boot.  So init_numa_topology_type() called during system boot will
ignore them and set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT.  And
init_numa_topology_type() is only called at runtime when a CPU of a
never-onlined-before node gets plugged in.  And there's no CPU in the
PMEM nodes.  But it appears better to fix this to make the code more
robust.

To test the potential problem.  We have used a debug patch to call
init_numa_topology_type() when the PMEM node is onlined (in
__set_migration_target_nodes()).  With that, the NUMA parameters
identified by scheduler is as follows,

sched_numa_topology_type:	NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH
sched_domains_numa_levels:	4
sched_max_numa_distance:	28

To fix the issue, the CPU-less nodes are ignored when the NUMA topology
parameters are identified.  Because a node may become CPU-less or not
at run time because of CPU hotplug, the NUMA topology parameters need
to be re-initialized at runtime for CPU hotplug too.

With the patch, the NUMA parameters identified for the example system
above is as follows,

sched_numa_topology_type:	NUMA_DIRECT
sched_domains_numa_levels:	2
sched_max_numa_distance:	21
