Ew, NUMA boxen look like they could use a hug or two.  Add a group of
one hog to compete with a box wide kbuild, ~lose a node.

Master.today, 4 node box, make -j 192 modules

root group
real    1m6.987s      1.00

cgroup vs 1 group of 1 hog
real    1m20.871s     1.20

cgroup vs 2 groups of 1 hog
real    1m48.803s     1.62
