With the addition of "numa_node" properties for PHBs we began
advertising NUMA affinity in cases where nb_numa_nodes > 1.
Since the default on the guest side is to make no assumptions about
PHB NUMA affinity (defaulting to -1), there is still a valid use-case
for explicitly defining a PHB's NUMA affinity even when there's just
one node. In particular, some workloads make faulty assumptions about
/sys/bus/pci/<devid>/numa_node being >= 0, warranting the use of
this property as a workaround even if there's just 1 PHB or NUMA
node.
Enable this use-case by always advertising the PHB's NUMA affinity
if "numa_node" has been explicitly set.
We could achieve this by relaxing the check to simply be
nb_numa_nodes > 0, but even safer would be to check
numa_info[nodeid].present explicitly, and to fail at start time
for cases where it does not exist.
This has an additional affect of no longer advertising PHB NUMA
affinity unconditionally if nb_numa_nodes > 1 and "numa_node"
property is unset/-1, but since the default value on the guest
side for each PHB is also -1, the behavior should be the same for
that situation. We could still retain the old behavior if desired,
but the decision seems arbitrary, so we take the simpler route.
