Patch to alter service

Description of problem:

Currently it is trivial to start numad on systems that do not actually have numa awareness.  This includes a number of virtualization solutions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):numad-0.5-35.20150602git.fc35.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fire up a VM without numa nodes
2. start numad
3. it runs but can't do anything causing wasted CPU/Memory

Actual results:

The numad.service starts on systems without numa nodes

Expected results:

The service is able to detect if numa is not present

Additional info:

This patch alters the requirements to ignore starting numad on systems where there are not nodes to migrate between.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
