NUMA systems require the node descriptions to be ready before CPUs are
registered. This is so that the node symlinks can be created in sysfs.

Currently no NUMA platform uses GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES, meaning that CPUs
are registered by arch code, instead of cpu_dev_init().

Move cpu_dev_init() after node_dev_init() so that NUMA architectures
can use GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES.

I think this patch should be merged sooner rather than later so that
it gets a longer time to be tested, as moving the order that things
happen in init/main.c can be problematical.

Worth saying why this matters I think.  I wrote a nice note on that being a possible
problem path as node_dev_init() uses the results of cpu_dev_init() if
CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES before seeing this comment and realizing you
had it covered (sort of anyway).
