libnuma is hard dependency for cyclictest. Thus we can always call
numa_initialize(). This allows us to remove the global 'numa' variable
to track if libnuma has been initialized or not.

Just a small note, the global 'numa' variable was NOT used to track 
whether libnuma had been intialized or not.

The user used to specify smp or numa, then we decided that we would remove 
the numa option.

What happened was that if numa was available and smp was not specified
the program would automatically use numa else it would use smp.

If smp was specified then smp was used. The numa variable would track 
that.

the smp option used to just collect a common set of options
-a -t and priorities all the same.

It made sense way back when, but it's less useful now-a-days

It seems like with this particular commit, it's not possible to run
cyclictest on arm32 systems anymore. I guess due to missing NUMA
support?

Just tested on a dual core Cyclone V:

root@tsn:~/rt-tests# ./cyclictest -S -m -p 99 --secaligned
FATAL: Couldn't initialize libnuma
root@tsn:~/rt-tests# 

I've used the current unstable/devel/latest branch. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kurt
