[PATCH 48/63] sched: numa: stay on the same node if CLONE_VM

[Mel Gorman]

From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

A newly spawned thread inside a process should stay on the same
NUMA node as its parent. This prevents processes from being "torn"
across multiple NUMA nodes every time they spawn a new thread.
