I'm not sure it's improvement over an existing error message, it looks
like a spapr specific thing in general code and even then I'm not sure
it's the correct one.

state before patch reports invalid device::'node-id' value,
while after patch it reports machine::slot[x]::core-id (-numa ...) which in
spapr case coincidentally happens to match device::core-id.
But wait machine::slot[x]::core-id is an optional in generic case so it might
be not set.

So we end up with error message that doesn't report invalid property directly
for the affected CPU but rather reports optional core id from board with full
slot description from the same board.

So I'd leave message as is or add topology info pointing valid slot description:

  error_setg(errp, "node-id=%d must match numa node specified "
                   "with -numa option '%s'", node_id, topology);
