memcg: allocate memory cgroup structures in local nodes
Commit dde79e005a769 ("page_cgroup: reduce allocation overhead for
page_cgroup array for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM") added a regression that the
memory cgroup data structures all end up in node 0 because the first
attempt at allocating them would not pass in a node hint. Since the
initialization runs on CPU #0 it would all end up node 0. This is a
problem on large memory systems, where node 0 would lose a lot of
memory.
Change the alloc_pages_exact() to alloc_pages_exact_nid(). This will
still fall back to other nodes if not enough memory is available.
[ RED-PEN: right now it would fall back first before trying
vmalloc_node. Probably not the best strategy ... But I left it like
that for now. ]
