Certain systems are designed to have sparse/discontiguous nodes. In
this case, nr_online_nodes can not be used to walk through numa node.
Also, a valid node may be greater than nr_online_nodes.

However, in hugetlb, it is assumed that nodes are contiguous. Recheck
all the places that use nr_online_nodes, and repair them one by one.
