[PATCH 1/2] arm64/numa: fix pcpu_cpu_distance() to get correct CPU proximity

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1 at huawei.com>

The pcpu_build_alloc_info() function group CPUs according to their
proximity, by call callback function @cpu_distance_fn from different
ARCHs.

For arm64 the callback of @cpu_distance_fn is
    pcpu_cpu_distance(from, to)
        -> node_distance(from, to)
The @from and @to for function node_distance() should be nid.

However, pcpu_cpu_distance() in arch/arm64/mm/numa.c just past the
cpu id for @from and @to.

For this incorrect cpu proximity get from ARCH, it may cause each CPU
in one group and make group_cnt out of bound:

	setup_per_cpu_areas()
		pcpu_embed_first_chunk()
			pcpu_build_alloc_info()
in pcpu_build_alloc_info, since cpu_distance_fn will return
REMOTE_DISTANCE if we pass cpu ids (0,1,2...), so
cpu_distance_fn(cpu, tcpu) > LOCAL_DISTANCE will wrongly be ture.

This may results in triggering the BUG_ON(unit != nr_units) later:

Fix by getting CPUs proximity through its node. We only care about
whether it is LOCAL_DISTANCE or not, for pcpu_build_alloc_info() only
use this to group CPUs.
