Think about this again.  It seems that it is better to check
"node_memory_types[nid].memtype == NULL" only here.  Because for all
node with N_CPU in memory_tier_init(), "node_memory_types[nid].memtype"
will be !NULL.  And it's possible (in theory) that some nodes becomes
"node_state(nid, N_CPU) == true" between memory_tier_init() and
memory_tier_late_init().

Otherwise, Looks good to me.  Feel free to add
