…es for numa_balancing

X86 isn't the only architecture supporting NUMA_BALANCING. ARM64, PPC,
S390 and RISCV also support it:

arch$ git grep NUMA_BALANCING
arm64/Kconfig:  select ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING
arm64/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y
arm64/include/asm/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
powerpc/configs/powernv_defconfig:CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y
powerpc/configs/ppc64_defconfig:CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y
powerpc/configs/pseries_defconfig:CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y
powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h:#endif /* CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING */
powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h:#endif /* CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING */
powerpc/include/asm/nohash/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
powerpc/include/asm/nohash/pgtable.h:#endif /* CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING */
powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:      select ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING
riscv/Kconfig:  select ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING
riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
s390/Kconfig:   select ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING
s390/configs/debug_defconfig:CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y
s390/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y
s390/include/asm/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
x86/Kconfig:    select ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING     if X86_64
x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:#endif /* CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING */

On the other hand, setup_numabalancing() is implemented in mm/mempolicy.c
which doesn't depend on architectures.
