[PATCH net-next v3] selftests: net: reuseport_bpf_numa: consider cpuless numa node

[PATCH net-next v3] selftests: net: reuseport_bpf_numa: consider cpuless numa node

[Feng Tang]

reuseport_bpf_numa case failed when testing on a platform with CXL
memory:

    #./reuseport_bpf_numa
    ---- IPv4 UDP ----
    send node 0, receive socket 0
    ./reuseport_bpf_numa: failed to pin to node: Invalid argument

The root cause is that the platform has 2 numa nodes: node 0 has
both cpu and memory, while node 1 is a CXL node which only has
memory, and caused numa_run_on_node() to fail.

Add sanity check to skip cpuless numa node for the numa binding test.

Changelog:
  since v2:
    * fix spelling issue (Jakub, Sashiko)
	* remove unnecessary 'inline' for is_cpuless_node() (Jakub)

  since v1:
    * address comments from Sashiko bot
      https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260730113738.41C901F000E9@smtp.kernel.org/
    * lift the cpuless node check out of send_from_node()
