I think you are suggesting that dev_to_node(dev) might return NUMA_NO_NODE
even on systems with CONFIG_NUMA enabled. I have no idea if that can happen.
The code in test_async_probe_init() seems to suggest that the node is set
to a valid node id for all asynchronous nodes, so I don't immediately see
how that could be the case. I may be missing something, of course.
