x86, numa: Use near(er) online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA

CPU to node mapping is set via the following sequence:

1. numa_init_array(): Set up roundrobin from cpu to online node

2. init_cpu_to_node(): Set that according to apicid_to_node[]
according to srat only handle the node that
is online, and leave other cpu on node
without ram (aka not online) to still
roundrobin.

3. later call srat_detect_node for Intel/AMD, will use first_online
node or nearby node.

Problem is that setup_per_cpu_areas() is not called between 2 and 3,
the per_cpu for cpu on node with ram is on different node, and could
put that on node with two hops away.

So try to optimize this and add find_near_online_node() and call
init_cpu_to_node().
