Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drivers/dax/kmem: use default numa_mem_id if target_node is invalid

In some platforms(e.g arm64 guest), the NFIT info might not be ready.
Then target_node might be -1. But if there is a default numa_mem_id(),
we can use it to avoid unnecessary fatal EINVL error.

devm_memremap_pages() also uses this logic if nid is invalid, we can
keep the same page with it.
