I suspect most of the problem is related to the node mask changing at
unexpected times (particularly cores being removed from the mask). Once
I understand that more, there may be a simpler patch.

OTOH, I've been testing with this, and with it, I can't seem to
duplicate the problem with CONFIG_NUMA disabled I found.
