Small nit: wouldn't it be helpful to know if ac->nodemask is actually NULL
rather than setting it to cpuset_current_mems_allowed here? We know the
effective nodemask from cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed(), but we don't
know if there's a bug in the page allocator which is failing to set
ac->nodemask appropriately if we blindly set it here when cpusets are not
enabled.
