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.

With Jonathan's comments addressed:    
That needs James' input, which is why I made the note on the patch.    
I'm going to be posting the series without RFC soon, and it will be
with Jonathan's comment unaddressed - because as I've said several
times it needs James' input and we have sadly not yet received that.

Short of waiting until James can respond, I don't think there are
any other alternatives.  
In the interests of expediency I'm fine with that.  (To be honest I'd
forgotten I even made that comment ;)
 
Given what I was looking for was a 'nice to have' extra bit of info in the
patch description and I'm fine with the actual change even without that:

I do hope we can get this queued up for v6.8 though.
*fingers crossed* !
