The dependency on of_numa.o is in the architecture specific code, so 
that is where the Kconfig select should be too.

For new code, we try to avoid putting architecture specific things into 
the core Kconfig files.

Since arm64 is the only architecture that is currently using this, we 
don't want to select it for non-arm64 kernels that happen to select NUMA 
&& OF.

I will restore the depends, as it is guard against errors in the 
architecture specific Kconfig select statements, but I am going to leave 
the NUMA && OF in the arm64/Kconfig for clarity.

Better to duplicate a single Kconfig select statement a few times in 
architecture specific Kconfig files, than force people to continuously 
modify the depends in  drivers/of/Kconfig
