[PATCH 1/2] mm: Mark nr_node_ids __ro_after_init

[Peter Zijlstra]

Just like nr_cpu_ids, nr_node_ids covers the side of possible_map and
is thus constant after init.

Mark the variable __ro_after_init to both improve performance and
enhance security, since the variable is exported. A module writing to
it would be 'unfortunate'.
