It will be printed by the former: numa_init(of_numa_init)

For example:
[    0.000000] NUMA: No distance-matrix property in distance-map
[    0.000000] No NUMA configuration found

So if of_numa_init or arm64_acpi_numa_init returned error, because of
some numa configuration error had been found, it's no good to print "No NUMA ...".
