AFAICS, the implementation of cpuset's spread page works only for new
allocations (filemap_alloc_folio_noprof/cpuset_do_page_mem_spread) and
there's no migraion in cpuset1_update_task_spread_flags(). So this
simple v1-like spreading would still require restart of the service.

(This challenge of dynamism also a reason why it's not ready for v2,
IMO.)

HTH,
