numa: fix slab_node(MPOL_BIND)

When a node contains only HighMem memory, slab_node(MPOL_BIND)
dereferences a NULL pointer.

[ This code seems to go back all the way to commit 19770b32609b: "mm:
filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask". Which was back in
April 2008, and it got merged into 2.6.26. - Linus ]
