I think that code was just copypasted but it is better to fix the
underlying issue.

On ACPI ARM64, this diff should do if I read the code correctly, it
should be (famous last words) just a matter of mapping PXMs to nodes for
every SRAT GICC entry, feel free to pick it up if it works.

Yes, we can take the original patch just because it is safer for an -rc
cycle even though if the patch below would do delaying the fix for a
couple of -rc (to get it tested across ACPI ARM64 NUMA platforms) is
not a disaster.
