[LTP] [PATCH] numa_helper: don't break is_numa() with TCONF

Hi!

Looking at the code the return value from filter_nodemask_mem() can be
propagated to get_allowed_nodes() and doing git grep "get_allowed_nodes"
suggets that most of the testcases does tst_brkm(TBROK | TERRNO, ...) if
the call returned non-zero. Have you checked that they exit with TCONF
on non-numa system before they reach the call to get_allowed_nodes()?

And the same for is_numa(), it calls tst_brkm(TBROK | TERRNO, ...) in
case that get_allowed_nodes_arr() returned non-zero.

Or am I missing something?
