driver core / cpu: Check if NUMA node is valid before bringing CPU up

There is a potential race condition between cpu_subsys_online()
and either acpi_processor_remove() or remove_memory() that execute
try_offline_node().  Namely, it is possible that cpu_subsys_online()
will run right after the CPUs NUMA node has been put offline and
cpu_to_node() executed by it will return NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).  In
that case the CPU is gone and it doesn't make sense to call cpu_up()
for it, so make cpu_subsys_online() return -ENODEV then.
