arch_numa: avoid false positive fortify warning in setup_node_to_cpumask_map()

When building ARCH=riscv using clang with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE and
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS enabled, CONFIG_NR_CPUS > 64, and the default value of
2 for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT, there is a compiletime warning from the fortify
routines.

In this configuration, MAX_NUMNODES is 4.  clang unrolls the for loop in
setup_node_to_cpumask_map() past this, which triggers the fortify check
when accessing node_to_cpumask_map on the theoretical fifth loop iteration
because it would be an out of bounds write.

Make it clear to clang that nr_node_ids is bounded by MAX_NUMNODES due to
the logic in setup_nr_node_ids() by early returning in
setup_node_to_cpumask_map() should that condition be violated.
