Config NUMA must be defined for all architectures,
otherwise IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NUMA) does not work.
Some arch-specific Kconfig already has this stub.
This patch adds it to all remaining.

It would be better to teach IS_ENABLED() to handle this situation.  I
don't think there's a way of doing this with cpp :(

This limitation makes IS_ENABLED pretty dangerous, doesn't it?  It
makes it very easy to introduce build breakage with unexpected Kconfig
combinations.

Indeed. Recently I discovered IS_ENABLED() and started recommending it
to people for new code. But now I've seen the CONFIG_NUMA breakage,
I no longer think this is a good recommendation.
