kho: skip memoryless NUMA nodes when reserving scratch areas

kho_reserve_scratch() iterates over all online NUMA nodes to allocate
per-node scratch memory.  On systems with memoryless NUMA nodes (nodes
that have CPUs but no memory), memblock_alloc_range_nid() fails because
there is no memory available on that node.  This causes KHO initialization
to fail and kho_enable to be set to false.

Some ARM64 systems have NUMA topologies where certain nodes contain only
CPUs without any associated memory.  These configurations are valid and
should not prevent KHO from functioning.

Fix this by only counting nodes that have memory (N_MEMORY state) and skip
memoryless nodes in the per-node scratch allocation loop.
