    Noticed this when just trying to read the code to see if it looks sensible
    (without looking at any real details).

    Code like this is *not* acceptable.

    We do proper indentations. Improperly indented code is buggy. It doesn't
    matter if the compiler might generate the same code with or without
    indentation, it's still totally unacceptable.

    Having preprocessor conditionals that mix things up is not an excuse, and
    it might be an argument for not doing the conditional that way (ie maybe
    just make sure that when NUMA is not on, nid/next_nid will always be
    different, and in a way that the compiler can perhaps see statically that
    they are different - so that you can have the conditional there even with
    NUMA off, but the compiler will just fold it away?).
