Upstream commit:
    openvswitch: allocate nr_node_ids flow_stats instead of num_possible_nodes

    Some architectures like POWER can have a NUMA node_possible_map that
    contains sparse entries. This causes memory corruption with openvswitch
    since it allocates flow_cache with a multiple of num_possible_nodes() and
    assumes the node variable returned by for_each_node will index into
    flow->stats[node].

    Use nr_node_ids to allocate a maximal sparse array instead of
    num_possible_nodes().

    The crash was noticed after 3af229f2 was applied as it changed the
    node_possible_map to match node_online_map on boot.
    Fixes: 3af229f2071f5b5cb31664be6109561fbe19c861
