Subject: [PATCH] of, numa: Return NUMA_NO_NODE from disable of_node_to_nid()
if nid not possible.
On arm64 NUMA kernels we can pass "numa=off" on the command line to
disable NUMA. A side effect of this is that kmalloc_node() calls to
non-zero nodes will crash the system with an OOPS:

This is caused by code like this in kernel/irq/irqdomain.c
domain = kzalloc_node(sizeof(*domain) + (sizeof(unsigned int) * size),
GFP_KERNEL, of_node_to_nid(of_node));
When NUMA is disabled, the concept of a node is really undefined, so
of_node_to_nid() should unconditionally return NUMA_NO_NODE.
Fix by returning NUMA_NO_NODE when the nid is not in the set of
possible nodes.
