$ git grep "config NUMA\|select NUMA" arch/arm

Did you mean arch64? If yes this one looks ok
$ git grep "HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP\|HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID" arch/arm64/
arch/arm64/Kconfig:     select HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP if NUMA

Which would be intentional if it doesn't provide a proper implementation
of the function.

I haven't checked all other callers of early_pfn_to_nid yet but I have
run my original patch (with !IS_ENABLED...) just to see whether anybody
actually uses this function from an innvalid context and it hasn't blown
up. So I suspect that all current users simply use the function from the
proper context. So if nobody objects I would just post the patch for
inclusion. If the compilation breaks we can think of a proper
implementation.

I cannot say I would be happy about this ifdefery. Especially when there
is no existing user which would need it.
