x86: AMD Northbridge: Verify NB's node is online

Fix panic seen on some IBM and HP systems on 2.6.32-rc6:

I put in a printk and commented out the set_dev_node()
call when and got this output:

 quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x0
 quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x1
 quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x2
 quirk_amd_nb_node: current numa_node = 0x0, would set to val & 7 = 0x3

I.e. the issue appears to be that the HW has set val to a valid
value, however, the system is only configured for a single
node -- 0, the others are offline.

Check to see if the node is actually online before setting
the numa node for an AMD northbridge in quirk_amd_nb_node().
