Michal Hocko 778d3b0ff0 cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node() 
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f8 but later
  reverted (commit 35926ff5fb) because it itroduced arch specific
  __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
  archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
  that there are no functional changes.]

Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.

This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.
