-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I only have CONFIG_NUMA=y for build testing: surprised when trying a memhog
to see lots of other processes killed with "No available memory
(MPOL_BIND)". memhog is killed correctly once we initialize nodemask in
constrained_alloc().
