mm, meminit: allow early_pfn_to_nid to be used during runtime
early_pfn_to_nid() historically was inherently not SMP safe but only used during boot which is inherently single threaded or during hotplug which is protected by a giant mutex. With deferred memory initialisation there was a thread-safe version introduced and the early_pfn_to_nid would trigger a BUG_ON if used unsafely. Memory hotplug hit that check. This patch makes early_pfn_to_nid introduces a lock to make it safe to use during hotplug.
