dpif-netdev: Allow PMD auto load balance with cross-numa.
Previously auto load balance did not trigger a reassignment when there was any cross-numa polling as an rxq could be polled from a different numa after reassign and it could impact estimates. In the case where there is only one numa with pmds available, the same numa will always poll before and after reassignment, so estimates are valid. Allow PMD auto load balance to trigger a reassignment in this case.
