I think we can safely assume that NUMA without SMP is not a useful
configuration on SH and add a dependency in Kconfig for it.

I assume this came from some randconfig build rather than a config
that someone was intentionally using? My guess would be that testing
sh randconfig kernels is not overly productive as you likely need
countless patches before there is a chance of it working most of
the time. I haven't tried this myself, but I spend a lot of time fixing
randconfig failures on arm and x86, and I whenever I try any other
architecture, there is simply too much work needed upfront.
