The following option is used to specify the distance map. It's
possible the option isn't provided by user. In this case, the
distance map isn't populated and exposed to platform. On the
other hand, the empty NUMA node, where no memory resides, is
allowed on ARM64 virt platform. For these empty NUMA nodes,
their corresponding device-tree nodes aren't populated, but
their NUMA IDs should be included in the "/distance-map"
device-tree node, so that kernel can probe them properly if
device-tree is used.

  -numa,dist,src=<numa_id>,dst=<numa_id>,val=<distance>

So when user doesn't specify distance map, we need to generate
the default distance map, where the local and remote distances
are 10 and 20 separately. However, this is going to change the
hardware description of the guest in this particular scenario.
It's fine as the guest should be tolerant to ignore the distance
map completely or parse it properly by following the device-tree
specification.

This introduces an extra parameter to the exiting function
complete_init_numa_distance() to generate the default distance
map when no node pair distances are provided by user.
