Subject: sched/topology: Set correct NUMA topology type

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit e5e96fafd9028b1478b165db78c52d981c14f471 ]

With the following commit:

  051f3ca02e46 ("sched/topology: Introduce NUMA identity node sched domain")

the scheduler introduced a new NUMA level. However this leads to the NUMA topology
on 2 node systems to not be marked as NUMA_DIRECT anymore.

After this commit, it gets reported as NUMA_BACKPLANE, because
sched_domains_numa_level is now 2 on 2 node systems.

Fix this by allowing setting systems that have up to 2 NUMA levels as
NUMA_DIRECT.

While here remove code that assumes that level can be 0.
