[PATCH v3 5/6] ACPI: Remove side effect of partly creating a node in acpi_get_node

acpi_get_node calls acpi_get_pxm to evaluate the _PXM AML method for
entries found in DSDT/SSDT. ACPI 6.3 sec 6.2.14 states
"_PXM evaluates to an integer that identifies a device as belonging to
 a Proximity Domain defined in the System Resource Affinity Table (SRAT)."

Hence a _PXM method should not result in creation of a new NUMA node.
Before this patch, _PXM could result in partial instantiation of
NUMA node, missing elements such as zone lists.  A call to devm_kzalloc
for example results in a null pointer dereference.

This patch therefore replaces the acpi_map_pxm_to_node with a call
to pxm_to_node.
