I don't think the value of NUMA_NO_NODE will (or even has to) ever
change, as we're already exporting that value to userland via sysfs.
But you're right, the code shouldn't make any assumptions about the
concrete value of NUMA_NO_NODE and just handle it as a special
symbolic value.

I would have written something like this:

    if ((node < 0 && node != NUMA_NO_NODE) || node >= MAX_NUMNODES)
        return -EINVAL;

It's more compact, but your solution is essentially the same, so I'm
fine with it.
