Please run patches through scripts/checkpatch.pl. There is a trailing

This can be simplified to:
	if (cpu && !numa_node_to_cpus(node, cpu)) {

The indentation on those brackets look to be wrong.

More importantly, you've introduced few functions in this patch, but 
none of those are being used. This is not a useful way to split your 
patches. In fact, this hurts bisect since trying to build perf with just 
this patch applied throws errors.

You seem to be addressing a few different issues related to perf bench 
numa. You might want to split your patch based on the specific issue(s) 
each change fixes.
