[PATCH 2/5] cpuset memory spread page cache implementation and hooks

[Paul Jackson]

From: Paul Jackson <pj@xxxxxxx>

Change the page cache allocation calls to support cpuset memory
spreading.

See the previous patch, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation
of cpuset memory spreading.

On systems without cpusets configured in the kernel, this is
no change.

On systems with cpusets configured in the kernel, but the
"memory_spread" cpuset option not enabled for the current tasks
cpuset, this adds one failed bit test of the processor state
flag PF_MEM_SPREAD.

On tasks in cpusets with "memory_spread" enabled, this adds
a call to a cpuset routine that computes which of the tasks
mems_allowed nodes should be preferred for this allocation.

If memory spreading applies to a particular allocation, then
any other NUMA mempolicy does not apply.
