Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash tables

References: git fixes (mm/vmalloc)
Patch-mainline: v5.15
Git-commit: ffb29b1c255ab48cb0062a3d11c101501e3e9b3f

Eric Dumazet reported a strange numa spreading info in [1], and found
commit 121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") introduced
this issue [2].

Dig into the difference before and after this patch, page allocation has
some difference:

before:
  alloc_large_system_hash
    __vmalloc
      __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
        __vmalloc_node_range
          __vmalloc_area_node
            alloc_page /* because NUMA_NO_NODE, so choose alloc_page branch */
              alloc_pages_current
                alloc_page_interleave /* can be proved by print policy mode */

after:
  alloc_large_system_hash
    __vmalloc
      __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
        __vmalloc_node_range
          __vmalloc_area_node
            alloc_pages_node /* choose nid by nuam_mem_id() */
              __alloc_pages_node(nid, ....)

So after commit 121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings"),
it will allocate memory in current node instead of interleaving allocate
memory.
