    This is a fix. tested on my ia64/NUMA box both on SLAB/SLUB.
    This patch fixes kmalloc_node() is called against node-without-memory.

    It's better to add memory hotplug callback for supporing possible nodes
    (memory hotplug) but here just uses kmalloc().

    Should be revisited later.
