mm: use numa_mem_id() in alloc_pages_node()
alloc_pages_node() might fail when called with NUMA_NO_NODE and __GFP_THISNODE on a CPU belonging to a memoryless node. To make the local-node fallback more robust and prevent such situations, use numa_mem_id(), which was introduced for similar scenarios in the slab context.
