In the numa=off kernel command-line configuration init_chip_info() loops
around the number of chips and attempts to copy the cpumask of that node
which is NULL for all iterations after the first chip.

Hence adding a check to bail out after the first initialization if there
is only one node.

Thanks for taking a look into this. Indeed there is an issue here
because the code here assumes that node_mask as a proxy for the
chip_mask. This assumption breaks when run with numa=off, since there will only be a
single node, but multiple chips.

With this we will only initialize the chip[0].throttle work function,
while for the rest of the chips chip[i].throttle will be
uninitialized. While we may be running in the numa=off mode, the fact
remains that those other chips do exist and they may experiencing
throttling, during which they will try to schedule work for chip[i] in
order to take corrective action, which will fail.

Hence a more correct approach may be to maintain a chip[i] mask
independent of the node mask.
