Currently Linux kernel with CONFIG_NUMA on a system with multiple
possible nodes, marks node 0 as online at boot. However in practice,
there are systems which have node 0 as memoryless and cpuless.
This can cause numa_balancing to be enabled on systems with only one node
with memory and CPUs.
Node id queried from the static device tree may not
be correct. For example: it may always show 0 on a shared processor.
Hence prefer the node id queried from vphn and fallback on the device tree
based node id if vphn query fails.
