Fix panic of cpu online with memory less node



When a cpu is onlined on memory-less-node box, kernel panics due to touch
NULL pointer of pgdat->kswapd.  Current kswapd runs only nodes which have
memory.  So, calling of set_cpus_allowed() is not necessary for memory-less
node.

This is fix for it.
