Subject: [PATCH v20251015 08/12] fix: handle disabled NUMA-partitioning of
 buffers

We still partition the buffers, because we want to partition the
clock-sweep (and that relies on partitions). But we don't map the
partitions to NUMA nodes.

The NUMA partitioning may be disabled for a number of reasons. The build
may not have libnuma enabled, debug_numa may not include "buffers"
and/or the shared buffers are too small (especially with huge pages).
