[PATCH] arm64: smp: do not allocate CPU IDs to invalid CPU nodes

Many modules, such as arch topology, rely on num_possible_cpus() to
allocate memory and then access the allocated space using CPU IDs.
These modules assume that there are no gaps in cpu_possible_mask.
However, in of_parse_and_init_cpus(), CPU IDs are still allocated
for invalid CPU nodes, leading to gaps in cpu_possible_mask and
resulting in out-of-bounds memory access. So it is crucial to avoid
allocating CPU IDs to invalid CPU nodes.

This issue can be reproduced easily on QEMU with KASAN enabled, by
modifing reg property of a CPU node to 0xFFFFFFFF
