Mel can correct me.
I believe this is needed for MPOL_BIND allocations because we now use
the zonelist for the local node--i.e., the node from which the
allocation takes place--and search for the nearest node in the policy
nodemask that satisfies the allocation. For the purpose of numa stats,
a "numa_hit" occurs if the allocation succeeds on the first node in the
zone list that is also in the policy nodemask--this is the "preferred
node".
