Looks good; did it actually work? :-)

Please double check this function; I wrote it in a hurry :-) Also maybe
add a wee comment on top like:

/*
* sched_numa_file_closest() - given the NUMA topology, find the cpu
* closest to @cpu from @cpumask.
* cpumask: cpumask to find a cpu from
* cpu: cpu to be close to
*
* returns: cpu, or >= nr_cpu_ids when nothing found (or !NUMA).
