Changing defintion of node_online_map is harmfil. (there are cpu-only-nodes.)
How about adding nodemask for nodes equips memory ?

===
There are memory-less-nodes (i.e. cpu only node.) on some systems.
mempolicy, which requires nodemask as its arg, should compare user's nodemask
with nodemask for node-with-memory-mask instead of node_online_map.

This patch adds node_with_memory_map and rewrite mempolicy's node_online_map
to node_with_memory_map.
(This patch supports node-hot-add.)

tested on ia64 NUMA
- 3nodes, node(2) is memory-less
- 3nodes, all nodes have memory.
