For kernel versions older than 5.4, the numa_node attribute is not
present for regions; due to which `ndctl list -U 1` fails to list
namespaces.

I'd shorten this to just ndctl_region_has_numa().

You should be able to cache this result at the beginning of time at
add_region() time to check for the ENOENT error return here:
sprintf(path, "%s/numa_node", region_base);
if (sysfs_read_attr(ctx, path, buf) == 0)
region->numa_node = strtol(buf, NULL, 0);
else
region->numa_node = -1;

This should also check that namespaces are being requested otherwise
failing here is the right thing to do. An error message stating that
the kernel lacks region-numa support when no namespaces are present
would also be useful.
