mm/fake-numa: fix under-allocation detection in uniform split
When splitting NUMA node uniformly, split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform()
returns the next absolute node ID, not the number of nodes created.
The existing under-allocation detection logic compares next absolute node
ID (ret) and request count (n), which only works when nid starts at 0.
For example, on a system with 2 physical NUMA nodes (node 0: 2GB, node
1: 128MB) and numa=fake=8U, 8 fake nodes are successfully created from
node 0 and split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform() returns 8. For node 1,
fake node nid starts at 8, but only 4 fake nodes are created due to
current FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE being 32MB, and
split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform() returns 12. By existing
under-allocation detection logic, "ret < n" (12 < 8) is false, so the
under-allocation will not be detected.
Fix under-allocation detection logic to compare the number of actually
created nodes (ret - nid) against the request count (n). Also skip
under-allocation detection logic for memoryless physical nodes where no
fake nodes are created.
Also, fix the outdated comment describing
split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform() to match the actual return value.
