Mateusz Guzik 262ef8e55b fork: stop ignoring NUMA while handling cached thread stacks
1. the numa parameter was straight up ignored.
2. nothing was done to check if the to-be-cached/allocated stack matches
   the local node

The id remains ignored on free in case of memoryless nodes.

Note the current caching is already bad as the cache keeps overflowing
and a different solution is needed for the long run, to be worked
out(tm).

Stats collected over a kernel build with the patch with the following
topology:
  NUMA node(s):              2
  NUMA node0 CPU(s):         0-11
  NUMA node1 CPU(s):         12-23

caller's node vs stack backing pages on free:
matching:	50083 (70%)
mismatched:	21492 (30%)

caching efficiency:
cached:		32651 (65.2%)
dropped:	17432 (34.8%)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
