Previously, numa_off is set to true unconditionally in dummy_numa_init(),
even if there is a fake numa node.
But acpi will translate node id to NUMA_NO_NODE(-1) in acpi_map_pxm_to_node()
because it regards numa_off as turning off the numa node.
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 setting numa_off to false.
