Sorry for my late reply.  This check for node < 0 was added
to handle node parameter overflow from the earliest version:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210820030536.25737-1-yaozhenguo1@xxxxxxxxx/
Parameter of node allocation was:  hugepages_node=xx hugepages=xx at this
version. With the changing of the code, this check has lost its effect.
