This one reverts acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init() to the x86 version.
I rather would prefer the arm64 version for the generic code. We could
keep the x86 implementation until x86 maintainers agree to remove them
and use the generic one (implemented in a separate patch).

Doing so we can move acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init() from the
beginning to generic code (used for arm64) and have this last patch to
remove the x86 version.
