I would say simply use 'pool->p.nid' in the call to
alloc_pages_bulk_array_node() and drop this optimization (that was
copy-pasted from fast-path).

The optimization avoids one reading from memory compile time depending
on CONFIG_NUMA.  It is *not* worth doing in this code path which is even
named "slow" (__page_pool_alloc_pages_slow).
