x86/mm/numa: Fix kernel stack corruption in numa_init()->numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug()

I got below kernel panic during kdump test on Thinkpad T420
laptop:

This is caused by writing over the end of numa mask bitmap
in numa_clear_kernel_node().

numa_clear_kernel_node() tries to set the node id in a mask bitmap,
by iterating all reserved regions and assuming that every region
has a valid nid.

This assumption is not true because there's an exception for some
graphic memory quirks. See trim_snb_memory() in arch/x86/kernel/setup.c

It is easily to reproduce the bug in the kdump kernel because kdump
kernel use pre-reserved memory instead of the whole memory, but
kexec pass other reserved memory ranges to 2nd kernel as well.
like below in my test:

kdump kernel ram 0x2d000000 - 0x37bfffff
One of the reserved regions: 0x40000000 - 0x40100000 which
includes 0x40004000, a page excluded in trim_snb_memory(). For
this memblock reserved region the nid is not set, it is still
default value MAX_NUMNODES. later node_set will set bit
MAX_NUMNODES thus stack corruption happen.

This also happens when booting with mem= kernel commandline
during my test.

Fixing it by adding a check, do not call node_set in case nid is
MAX_NUMNODES.
