Subject: [net-next v6 PATCH 2/2] page_pool: help compiler remove code in case
 CONFIG_NUMA=n

When kernel is compiled without NUMA support, then page_pool NUMA
config setting (pool->p.nid) doesn't make any practical sense. The
compiler cannot see that it can remove the code paths.

This patch avoids reading pool->p.nid setting in case of !CONFIG_NUMA,
in allocation and numa check code, which helps compiler to see the
optimisation potential. It leaves update code intact to keep API the
same.
