mm, meminit: always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid
early_pfn_to_nid can return node 0 if a PFN is invalid on machines that
has no node 0. A machine with only node 1 was observed to crash with
the following message:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000000002a3c8
PGD 0

The problem is that early_page_uninitialised uses the early_pfn_to_nid
helper which returns node 0 for invalid PFNs. No caller of
early_pfn_to_nid cares except early_page_uninitialised. This patch has
early_pfn_to_nid always return a valid node.
