Subject: [PATCH v12 10/12] KVM: selftests: Add helpers to probe for NUMA
 support, and multi-node systems

From: Shivank Garg <shivankg@....com>

Add NUMA helpers to probe for support/availability and to check if the
test is running on a multi-node system.  The APIs will be used to verify
guest_memfd NUMA support.
