Previously, numa_off was set unconditionally in dummy_numa_init()
even with a fake numa node. Then ACPI sets node id as NUMA_NO_NODE(-1)
after acpi_map_pxm_to_node() because it regards numa_off as turning
off the numa node. Hence dev_dax->target_node is NUMA_NO_NODE on
arm64 with fake numa case.

Without this patch, pmem can't be probed as RAM devices 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 using fallback memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() as nid.

v2: - rebase it based on David's "memory group" patch.
    - drop the changes in dev_dax_kmem_remove() since nid had been 
      removed in remove_memory().
