When hv_pci_assign_numa_node() processes a device that does not have
HV_PCI_DEVICE_FLAG_NUMA_AFFINITY set or has an out-of-range
virtual_numa_node, the device NUMA node is left unset. On x86_64,
the uninitialized default happens to be 0, but on ARM64 it is
NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).

Tests show that when no NUMA information is available from the Hyper-V
host, devices perform best when assigned to node 0. With NUMA_NO_NODE
the kernel may spread work across NUMA nodes, which degrades
performance on Hyper-V, particularly for high-throughput devices like
MANA.

Always set the device NUMA node to 0 before the conditional NUMA
affinity check, so that devices get a performant default when the host
provides no NUMA information, and behavior is consistent on both
x86_64 and ARM64.
