For configurations that have the kconfig option NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO
disabled numa_fill_memblks() only returns with NUMA_NO_MEMBLK (-1).
SRAT lookup fails then because an existing SRAT memory range cannot be
found for a CFMWS address range. This causes the addition of a
duplicate numa_memblk with a different node id and a subsequent page
fault and kernel crash during boot.
Fix this by making numa_fill_memblks() always available regardless of
NUMA_KEEP_MEMINFO.
The fix also removes numa_fill_memblks() from sparsemem.h using
__weak.
From Dan:
"""
It just feels like numa_fill_memblks() has absolutely no business being
defined in arch/x86/include/asm/sparsemem.h.
The only use for numa_fill_memblks() is to arrange for NUMA nodes to be
applied to memory ranges hot-onlined by the CXL driver.
It belongs right next to numa_add_memblk(), and I suspect
arch/x86/include/asm/sparsemem.h was only chosen to avoid figuring out
what to do about the fact that linux/numa.h does not include asm/numa.h
and that all implementations either provide numa_add_memblk() or select
the generic implementation.
So I would prefer that this do the proper fix and get
numa_fill_memblks() completely out of the sparsemem.h path.
Something like the following which boots for me.
"""
Note that the issue was initially introduced with [1]. But since
phys_to_target_node() was originally used that returned the valid node
0, an additional numa_memblk was not added. Though, the node id was
wrong too, a message is seen then in the logs:

Whilst I'm not particularly keen on an arch specific solution for this
and the stub is effectively pointless beyond making the build work, I guess
this works well enough for now.

I was aiming to post the ARM64 handling this cycle but it hasn't quite happened yet :(
Maybe we can look at whether there is a better level share at than
the whole function once that is done.

Thanks for review.
It seems better to change x86 to use the generic implementation of
numa_add_memblk() in drivers/base/arch_numa.c. That already contains
code to deal with and merge overlapping blocks, it also checks memory
attributes. But that is not scope of this patch.

There is some history that Dan pointed me at a while back... Maybe this one is fine
but in general people have tried and given up on unifying x86 memblock handling
with the generic version :(
