Previously, numa_off is set unconditionally at the end of dummy_numa_init(),
even with a fake numa node. Then ACPI detects node id as NUMA_NO_NODE(-1) in
acpi_map_pxm_to_node() because it regards numa_off as turning off the numa
node. Hence dev_dax->target_node is NUMA_NO_NODE on arm64 with fake numa.
Without this patch, pmem can't be probed as a RAM device on arm64 if SRAT table
isn't present:
$ndctl create-namespace -fe namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --map=dev -s 1g -a 64K
kmem dax0.0: rejecting DAX region [mem 0x240400000-0x2bfffffff] with invalid
node: -1
kmem: probe of dax0.0 failed with error -22
This fixes it by using fallback memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() as nid.

I noticed that on powerpc memory_add_physaddr_to_nid is not exported for module
driver. Set it to RFC due to this concern.
