nr_node_ids is unsigned, so -1 >= nr_node_ids is true.

If we're being pedantic, sched_numa_hop_mask() shouldn't return
cpu_online_mask in those cases, but that was the least horrible
option I found to get something sensible for the NUMA_NO_NODE /
!CONFIG_NUMA case. I might be able to better handle this with your
suggestion of having a mask iterator.
