From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim at lge.com>

We need to determine the fallback node in slub allocator if the
allocation target node is memoryless node. Without it, the SLUB wrongly
select the node which has no memory and can't use a partial slab,
because of node mismatch. Introduced function, node_to_mem_node(X), will
return a node Y with memory that has the nearest distance. If X is
memoryless node, it will return nearest distance node, but, if X is
normal node, it will return itself.

We will use this function in following patch to determine the fallback
node.

v2 -> v3 (Nishanth):
  Fix declaration and definition of _node_numa_mem_.
  s/node_numa_mem/node_to_mem_node/ as suggested by David Rientjes.

Andrew, I decided to leave the definition of the variables as-is. I
followed-up with Christoph, but didn't hear back on what he actually
wanted. I think the naming can be changed in a future patch if it's
urgent.
