it is not needed anymore because bootmem for that node is ready at that point, could use
reserve_bootmem_node directly. and before that early_res_to_bootmem will convert that early resource that
fall into that node range to bootmem reserved too.

please check code setup_node_bootmem/early_node_mem/early_res_to_bootmem ...and reserve_bootmem_node...
