[PATCH 14/19] mm: Create/affine kswapd to its preferred node

[Frederic Weisbecker]

kswapd is dedicated to a specific node. As such it wants to be
preferrably affine to it, memory and CPUs-wise.

Use the proper kthread API to achieve that. As a bonus it takes care of
CPU-hotplug events and CPU-isolation on its behalf.
