numa: mempolicy: dynamic interleave map for system init

This converts the default system init memory policy to use a dynamically
created node map instead of defaulting to all online nodes.  Nodes of a
certain size (>= 16MB) are judged to be suitable for interleave, and are added
to the map.  If all nodes are smaller in size, the largest one is
automatically selected.

Without this, tiny nodes find themselves out of memory before we even make it
to userspace.  Systems with large nodes will notice no change.

Only the system init policy is effected by this change, the regular
MPOL_DEFAULT policy is still switched to later on in the boot process as
normal.
