For a memoryless or offline nodes, node_numa_mem refers to a N_MEMORY
fallback node. Currently kernel has an API set_numa_mem that sets
node_numa_mem for memoryless node. However this API cannot be used for
offline nodes. Hence all offline nodes will have their node_numa_mem set
to 0. However systems can themselves have node 0 as offline i.e
memoryless and cpuless at this time. In such cases,
node_to_mem_node() fails to provide a N_MEMORY fallback node.
Mitigate this by having a new API that sets the default node_numa_mem for
offline nodes to be first_memory_node.
